    Edmunds Marsh, Washington State, is a 22.5-acre (9-hectare) urban wetland. While I was there taking pictures, I ran into a reclamation crew removing invasive Wizards Nightshade (Circaea lutetiana). We had a long talk about the stream ecosystem there. Apparently, if it isn't cleared out, the area turns into a bog. He pointed to huge hedges of the plant smothering other plants further in, but in an area where he wasn't allowed to go.

  8. #WetlandRestoration and Improvement Projects Receive $4.6 Million in Funding

    February 09, 2026 | #Maine

    AUGUSTA, Maine — "The Maine Natural Resource Conservation Program (#MNRCP) awarded over $4.6 million for 10 projects that will restore and enhance freshwater and coastal wetlands and streams, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MaineDEP) announced today.

    The projects awarded funding include:

    - Improving degraded #SaltMarsh around the #YorkRiver
    - Restoring #eelgrass in the #GreatSaltBay
    - Removing dams on the #RoyalRiver in #YarmouthME and the #NezinscotRiver in #BuckfieldME
    - Reconnecting a side channel and reestablishing #wetlands along the Upper #MagallowayRiver
    - Expanding and enhancing the #RiparianBuffer of a brook in #WaldoboroME
    - Upgrading a culvert to a bridge on a tributary to the #AroostookRiver
    - Restoring and reconnecting #wetlands in #AcadiaNationalPark

    "In total, $4,633,343 was awarded to restore wetlands that will improve water quality, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, and mitigate flooding impacts.

    "#MNRCP is one of the most important funding sources for wetland restoration and conservation projects in the state. Since it began in 2008, the program has awarded over $36 million for 183 wetland restoration and conservation projects. Public agencies, municipalities, Tribes and nonprofit conservation organizations are all eligible to apply for funding. MNRCP funding can cover the costs of wetland consultants and engineers who support project design and implementation.

    "The program provides opportunities for restoration projects that help improve a broad range of critical habitats, both inland and along Maine’s coast."

  14. Farmworkers Heal Climate-Scarred Land With #NativeSeeds

    At #California’s #HedgerowFarms, specialists produce seeds to #revegetate burned areas, reestablish #wetlands, and transform drought-prone #farmland

    By Caleb Hampton

    July 7, 2025

    "Quiroz and Gómez are seed-cleaning specialists and field workers at Hedgerow Farms, a native seed farm near the #CentralValley town of #WintersCA. Hedgerow’s collectors gather seeds from native plants in the wild, and field workers grow them out at the 300-acre farm to produce more seeds. This spring, neat rows of #mugwort, #PurpleNeedlegrass, and #CaliforniaPoppies sprouted in the midst of neighboring almond orchards, tomatoes, and alfalfa.

    "Government agencies, tribes, and other land managers use the seeds to revegetate #FireRavagedAreas, transform #AbandonedFarmland, reestablish wetlands, and repair other damaged or altered lands, creating environments that support local #ecosystems and #biodiversity.

    " 'We’re doing something for the planet,' Quiroz said in Spanish.

    "Recreational areas have benefited too: Hedgerow Farms’ #SilverbushLupine grows in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and its #NativeGrasses can be found in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area outside Sacramento. The farm also supplies native seeds to seed packet retailers, helping sow #DroughtResistant plants and establish #pollinator habitat in #urban environments.

    "Some projects, such as the ongoing restoration of the #KlamathRiverBasin in Oregon and California, involve billions of seeds — from various suppliers, including Hedgerow — spread across thousands of acres. 'Native vegetation is the foundation of a healthy #ecosystem,' the #YurokTribe said in a social media post showing #wildflowers blooming this spring in the scar of a former reservoir.

    "After four dams were removed from the #KlamathRiver, the tribe began #revegetating the riverbanks last year, planting species such as #milkweed — a key food source for #MonarchButterflies — that once flourished in the watershed."

Jedna z tych łąk jest nad samym Bugiem, a całe nasze gospodarstwo jest na obszarze Natura 2000. Łąka oraz krzewy i drzewa nad samym brzegiem są rzadko odwiedzane przez człowieka - tym bardziej, że w okresie wiosennym trudno w ogóle tam wejść, jest tak mokro. Chyba że ktoś ma porządne kalosze i ma dużo odwagi - to wtedy można próbować. 👨‍🌾
