Forested Wetlands

If you are interested in implementing a Forested Wetland Understory please download our AIA-USA construction document formatted specifications.

Benefits of a Forested Wetland Understory:

  • Rapidly establishment provides soil stabilization
  • Areas with established native understory are less likely to be invaded by invasive plants such as Canada Thistle and Garlic Mustard
  • Provides an attractive community between tree rows rather than noxious weeds
  • Moderate stature allows seedling to receive sunlight
  • May be sown in strips between tree rows to permit herbicide management
    in the immediate vicinity of the trees
  • Adds diversity to reforestation projects
