Wetland & Preserve Management

There are many areas throughout a community where natural areas coexist with manicured lawns and other highly landscaped areas. Many of these areas provide needed habitat for a broad range of wildlife that is needed to ensure the quality and health of your lakes ecosystem. Aquatic Systems can include these areas in implementation, restoration and maintenance managment plans.

Littoral area

Littoral Areas

This is the area where the water line begins and includes plants and algae that often act as cover for smaller aquatic animals.
