Create new grasslands, forests, and/or wetlands (coastal, marsh, mangrove, seagrass, freshwater, peat bog, swamp)

Case Study

The Orongo Station Conservation Master Plan by Nelson Byrd Woltz created wetlands on a large sheep ranch where 200 acres had been previously drained. 58 acres of freshwater wetland with chain ponds and 17 acres of tidal saltwater wetland were constructed or restored. The freshwater Orongo and Te Mamaku wetlands were planted with three mixes according to submersion frequency.
