On #WorldWetlandsDay, it’s important to highlight the benefits and importance of wetlands. They naturally filter water supplies, revive biodiversity and more. The North Atlantic Division helps to restore hundreds of acres of wetlands, like at Poplar Island at @USACEBaltimore!

A groundhog’s forecast about seasonal change is fun! Here’s a prediction that can help ensure your times in, on, or near the water are always fun. If you wear a properly-fitted life jacket, it can help prepare you for the unexpected and save your life. #PleaseWearIt #WaterSafety

National Freedom Day honors the day President Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th amendment into law. The observance was created in 1948 after heavy promotion from Army Maj. Richard Robert Wright Sr., a prominent Black college founder and banker.
