On October 15th Stu Kogge of JFNew shared his expertise in restoring wetlands. Often if water is allowed to return to an area that was historically a wetland the native seed bank still exists and will flourish. This creates a more stable ecosystem that can better withstand invasive species than one that is entirely man made. For more information about JFNew go to www.jfnew.com .
