During April, all the Junior classes from Mangorei School visited some local wetlands near Lake Rotomanu.
Mr Archer, the environmental education officer from the Taranaki Regional Council told us that wetlands are important as they act like 'sponges' holding water and helping to clean it.
Lots of different birds live in wetlands and special plants grow there too.
Wetlands are sometimes called swamps, bogs or estuaries. They can have salty water in them.
