The Sheboygan Marsh is the largest managed wetlands complex in the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior watersheds of Wisconsin. Rob the raccoon acquaints the reader with some of the plants and animals that live in this marsh. A marsh is one of several types of wetlands. After being introduced to the reader, these wetland friends reveal their interdependency on one another. The story is very informative, revealing interesting facts about the lives of Rob's friends. Finally, Rob introduces the reader to a friend that is the most influential to the marsh ecosystem, you, the reader. The only thing in nature that is constant is change. Rob explains how our society can significantly influence the changes that will occur as the marsh evolves into a grassy meadow. Rob ends the story by telling how Ducks Unlimited and other agencies are constantly striving to conserve and restore wetlands. Those same wetlands are not only important to the survival of the residents of the wetland but also play an important role in man's survival.
