Wetlands
NativeAwa’s high-density planting increases nitrate uptake and provides a support habitat for microorganisms that break down waste products in our wetlands.
Just as urban parks are considered the lungs of a city, a wetland can be considered the kidneys of a rural environment. Properly managed and functioning wetlands have a multitude of benefits to their immediate surroundings and play a critical role in wider eco systems. Restored wetlands assist in the cleansing of waterways, filtering of land run off and promote far wider benefits to bio mass and diversity of a location.
True wetlands are an important, forgotten and often badly treated part of land and environmental management. Properly managed investments in wetland restoration and management are a simple, cost effective land management tool that provides long term, lasting returns to property owners and the planet.
Benefits of our wetlands:
High-density planting increases nitrate uptake and provides a support habitat for microorganisms that break down waste products (nitrates, fine sediments, metals and pollutants) in our ponds.
Erosion and sediment control.
Help mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events.
Buffering water levels in times of flooding, helping divert, spread and disperse peak water levels, reducing erosion and land loss.
Act as water stores in times of drought, retaining soil moisture levels and water tables.
Provides a habitat for bird and fish life.
The large custom-made surface area creates a large surface area for the microbes to attach to.
Cost effective, and look good too!
