Flooding a Forest
This ambitious project aims to restore an area of degraded wetland by digging water channels that will reconnect the site to a nearby river. These channels will enable water to travel from the river to the core area of the wetland and restore a more beneficial flooding regime. The project will also remove encroaching woody vegetation that is out-competing the native wetland plant communities.
- Create suitable conditions for the regeneration of the wetland plant communities
- Suppress the expansion of non-native plant species
- Create suitable habitat for a diversity of invertebrates, amphibians, birds and mammals
