WETLAND CREATION
Restoring lost habitats, strengthening natural systems
Over 90% of the UK’s wetlands have been lost due to drainage, development and agricultural intensification — with major impacts on biodiversity, water quality and flood resilience. Wetlands play a vital role in storing water, filtering pollutants, supporting wildlife and improving climate resilience.
At Nature Based Solutions, we design and deliver wetland creation projects tailored to the ecological, hydrological and land-use context of each site. Whether the objective is habitat creation, Natural Flood Management, biodiversity enhancement or water quality improvement, we provide practical, evidence-led solutions that work with natural processes and deliver long-term environmental benefit.
What we deliver:
Our wetland creation services cover every stage of development and implementation, including:
- Site feasibility and hydrological assessment
- Ecological appraisal and habitat design
- Floodplain reconnection and shallow scrape creation
- Reedbed and wet grassland establishment
- Attenuation and storage wetlands
- Construction management and on-site supervision
- Post-creation monitoring and adaptive management
We ensure wetlands are functional, resilient and aligned with project objectives — delivering measurable outcomes for wildlife, water and communities.
"The work has been well planned and delivered in an efficient and cost-effective way. Nature Based Solutions are a professional and knowledgeable organisation and are well respected in the delivery of environmental conservation work in the Tees Valley."
