Creating a Wetland Food Web -- Vibrant Clubs

In every ecosystem, all living beings are connected. All species, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, rely on one another. In each habitat, all species occupy their own specific niche or position within the system. The niche each species occupies is determined, in part, by the food they eat. A food web shows the connections between species based on the food(s) they eat. Like humans, most species will not eat the same food for every meal, meaning species may have multiple things they eat or multiple species that eat them.

In this activity, youth will demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of food webs in a wetland ecosystem by creating their own webs and reflecting on what they came up with.
