Wetland Reestablishment
Wetland Reestablishment refers to the process of restoring or converting wetlands that have been drained or degraded to a more natural or functional state. Wetlands are vital ecosystems that provide numerous ecological benefits, such as water filtration, flood control, and habitat for diverse species.
Revitalizing Vital Ecosystems: Our Commitment to Wetland Restoration, Rehabilitation, and Enhancement
Returning wetlands to their original condition before they were altered. This might include reintroducing native plants, removing invasive species, and restoring natural water flow patterns.
Rehabilitation
Reestablishing wetlands can be completed by LRG. We will design and reconstruct the stream channel. The reconstructed stream channel will provide opportunities for wetlands to reestablish within the buffer of a stream and flood plain where they once existed. Activities like development, agriculture, and the construction of infrastructure removed the hydrology from the soils Reestablishing the stream so it has connection to the flood plain areas will provide ecological benefits and hydrological improvements
Reestablishment
Improving the function and values of existing wetlands by planting additional trees and shrubs, providing improved water quality, and enhancing biodiversity.
Enhancement
Conducting thorough evaluations of the wetland area to understand its current state, historical conditions, and ecological needs. This often involves soil analysis, hydrological studies, and ecological surveys.
Site Assessment
Developing detailed plans for the reclamation project. This includes designing the layout of the wetland, determining the appropriate types of vegetation, planning for water management, and addressing potential environmental impacts.
Design & Planning
Carrying out physical work such as excavating land to create or restore wetland areas, constructing levees or dikes to manage water flow, and setting up necessary infrastructure.
Excavation & Construction
Implementing systems to regulate the water levels and flow within the reclaimed wetland. This could involve installing pumps, creating channels, or setting up water control structures.
Water Management
Planting native vegetation, such as aquatic plants and wetland grasses, to establish and enhance the habitat. This may also include removing invasive species and ensuring that the plantings are suitable for the local ecosystem.
Vegetation & Habitat Restoration
Regularly checking the wetland's health and functionality after reclamation. This involves monitoring water quality, plant growth, and wildlife activity, and performing maintenance tasks to address any issues that arise.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Ensuring that the reclamation project adheres to environmental regulations and guidelines. This includes obtaining necessary permits, documenting progress, and reporting to regulatory agencies and stakeholders.
Compliance & Reporting
Collaborating with local communities, environmental groups, and other stakeholders to ensure the project meets broader environmental and social goals.
