Summary
Wetland areas on farms serve many valuable functions, including trapping sediment, filtering nutrient run-off; reducing the impact of floods and maintaining water tables. Rather than draining or infilling wet land, you can create a sustainable system, allowing you to concentrate your efforts on the more profitable parts of the farm and provide valuable wildlife habitat.
This factsheet describes the importance of wetlands for flood control, water quality, wildlife habitat. It describes species suitable for wetland planting and how to control weeds in wetlands. It also describes funding, support and further information available.
