Resources required to build a successful wetland program include wetland restoration criteria, geographic and other background data for site and landscape-level review, familiarity with ongoing wetland research, issues, researchers and professionals, sources of wetland-related funding, and often the most important are the partnerships forged with agencies and environmental organizations.
This is in no way an exhaustive list so if you are familiar with other pertinent resources, please let us know
