Wetland restoration techniques

Wetland restoration involves restoring natural wetland environments to improve water quality, habitat, and biodiversity. Techniques include re-establishing native plants, removing invasive species, regrading land to restore natural water flow, and reconnecting areas cut off by development. Sometimes, engineers create or enhance water channels to mimic natural flooding cycles. These methods help wetlands filter pollutants, support wildlife, and mitigate flooding. Restoration plans are tailored to the specific wetland’s conditions and goals, aiming to bring back the ecological functions that have been lost or degraded over time.
