Wetlands are some of the most important ecosystems on the planet — and here at Restore Native, we’re passionate about helping landowners bring them back to life.
Wetlands can be a powerful tool in the regenerative toolbox. They slow the flow of water, trap sediment, filter nutrients, and provide essential habitat for native species. In short, they’re nature’s own water filter — and restoring them benefits the entire landscape.
Wetlands act like nature’s filter, slowing stormwater flow, trapping sediment, and soaking up excess nutrients before they reach our rivers and streams. They’re vital for cleaner water, improved biodiversity, and healthier landscapes.
Planting Wetlands the right way
Creating a successful wetland starts with planting the right species in the right spots. Wetland plants thrive based on water depth and flow, so understanding your site’s conditions is key.
Here’s how we approach wetland restoration:
Species selection by depth — We match plants to where they’ll grow best, from submerged species through to those suited to the margins and edges.
Slowing the flow — By strategically planting native wetland species, stormwater movement is reduced, allowing sediment to settle out naturally.
Nutrient uptake — Wetland plants absorb nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients, preventing them from polluting waterways.
The result? Cleaner water, healthier ecosystems, and a vibrant wetland teeming with native wildlife.
