2. Where, When and Why You Should Plant Wetland,
Native and Moisture Loving Plants
Regulated Wetlands providing
Valuable purpose, reason or design can be proposed
Permits are obtainable through local or state agencies
Expectations of success are possible
Disturbed wetlands (providing jurisdiction is determined), I.E
Mitigation, Restoration, Enhancement and/or Improvement (may
or may not be regulated)
Poor drainage areas ( isolated and undisturbed ) ex. Low
lying,poorly drained areas with heavy clay soil
Disturbed Sites ex. New construction or steam bank restoration
Constructed wetlands ( may include rain gardens/bioretention for
stormwater management ) as an alternative to conventional drainage
methods
3. Where, When and Why You Should Plant Wetland,
Native and Moisture Loving Plants
Mitigation is required due to legislation or
violation thereof
Restoration to a natural condition is desired
Aesthetic enhancement to improve
environmental conditions and protect property
values
Wildlife habitat improvement is desired
Reduce or eliminate pesticides
4. Opportunities for Wetland Planting
include:
Water Gardens
Container Gardens
Bog Gardens
Rain Gardens
Streamside Planting and/or Restoration
Demonstration Gardens
5. Types of Plants Determined by
Soil/Moisture Gradient and
Indicator Status:
Aquatic plants
Marginal Plants (emergent)
Moisture Loving Plants
7. Indicator Status:
Obligate Wetland: Occur almost always (estimated
probability > 99%) under natural conditions in wetlands
Facultative Wetland: Usually occur in wetlands
(estimated probability 67%-99%) , but occasionally
found in nonwetlands
Facultative: Equally likely to occur in wetlands or
nonwetlands (estimated probability 34%-66%)
Facultative Upland: Usually occur in nonwetlands
(estimated probability 67%-99%), but occasionally
found in wetlands (estimated probability 1%-33%).
