Wetland Restoration Guide

A practical Guide for landholders

WRITTEN BY AIDAN PEARCE, COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER


Wetlands are among the most valuable ecosystems in the world, providing essential habitat for wildlife, improving water quality, reducing flood risks, and much more. Whether your wetland has been drained, degraded, or altered, restoring it can enhance biodiversity, support sustainable land use, and increase the climate resilience of your property.

This guide is designed to help private landholders navigate the wetland restoration process. It covers key principles, practical steps, and best practices to ensure your project is both effective and environmentally beneficial. Whether you’re looking to restore a small pond or a large marsh, this resource will provide the knowledge you need to get started.
