Water & Wetlands
Water is a vital part of all ecosystems, above and below ground, and no other life can survive without it. Water features need to be managed and cared for within the context of their urban or rural landscapes, in order to deliver the vast benefits they offer.
We manage and demonstrate the ability for different waterscapes to deliver improved water quality, retention, sustainable use, carbon sequestration, and wetland habitats for biodiversity, climate and health.
