back to health
The movement to restore some of the world’s great wetlands to their natural place in the ecosystem has already produced some encouraging results. Both wildlife and humans, thanks to the efforts of many in landscaping streams, can once more enjoy the bounty of Mother Nature’s wetlands.
Landscaping streams requires a commitment to working hard over a long period. It also requires an investment in the proper supplies. If you are involved in landscaping streams first find areas the remaining healthy areas along those streams, and record the kinds of plants growing there. A good way to accurately record the plants indigenous to the stream is with a sketch of the healthy stream banks. With drawings of plants, you can go to a local nursery which carries local wild flowers and native plants, and buy a selection to use in landscaping streams in the area. Buy native plants to use when landscaping streams whenever possible; they are perfectly adapted to the area, and will thrive and spread.
