Background Paragraph: Ecologically, the expansion of drainage systems has had tremendous negative effects. Hundreds of thousands of wetland species experienced significant population declines as their habitat was increasingly fragmented and destroyed. Although market hunting within the Central Flyway was a contributing factor in the decline of many waterfowl species' numbers in the early decades of the twentieth century, loss of breeding habitat to agricultural expansion is certainly the most significant. Early maps of midwestern states depict many lakes and marshes that are either nonexistent or significantly reduced in area today. Channelization, a related process of concentrating and facilitating the flow of water from agricultural areas, also contributed to this degradation. 
Story: Seeing wildlife in wetland areas has been all the rage lately, and Steve wanted to take his family on a trip to some wetlands. He had the option of two different wetland areas to visit. Timmons Wetlands, that has seen a population boom of sorts because of increased agriculture in the area, and Laslo Wetlands that has been somewhat removed from agricultural expansion. They want to make sure to see the most wildlife while on their trip.
What wetlands should Steve take his family to have the best chance to see wildlife? What wetlands will Steve want to avoid if his goal is to see the most wildlife? Will Laslo Wetlands have more or less wildlife than Timmons Wetlands? Will Timmons Wetlands have more or less wildlife than Laslo Wetlands? Will Timmons Wetlands or Laslo Wetlands  have less channelization? Will Timmons Wetlands or Laslo Wetlands have more channelization?
