Wetland Images
The service has provided many images that were used in the
President Earth Day Wetland Reports over the last 4 years. This
is best exemplified by the fact that images provided by Service
employees have graced the cover of all four reports. Steve
Hillebrand, former Chief, Division of Training, Education, and
Materials Production, took the pictures that were used on the
last three covers.
