Wetland restoration is the process of returning a degraded or damaged wetland ecosystem back to its original functioning state. It is a specialized skill that requires knowledge and expertise in wetland ecology, hydrology, soil science, and plant community dynamics. Wetland restoration projects involve the removal of invasive species, the reintroduction of native plants and animals, and the restoration of natural water flow patterns. Successful wetland restoration projects can provide numerous benefits, including improved water quality, habitat for wildlife, carbon sequestration, and flood control.
