Government Policy about Wetlands The government has not always been in the business of protecting wetlands. Until the 1960's, government policies encouraged - and even paid for - turning wetlands into other uses. Draining and filling these water soaked lands provided fields and pastures for farmers and gave cities room to grow. ------------------------------------------------- Bedford, Barbara.
