wetlands restoration
Bringing swamps back
Wetlands restoration is the process of returning degraded or destroyed wetland ecosystems to their natural state.
This involves reestablishing native vegetation, restoring natural water flow, and removing invasive species or artificial drainage.
The county invested millions in wetlands restoration along the river corridor.
The practice aims to recover ecological functions like flood control, water filtration, and wildlife habitat.
