Remsenburg Wetland
Overview
LI Natives was contacted by referral to prepare a list of appropriate species for a wetland setback requiring native vegetation along an existing sea wall that was to remain on site. The residential site was located within a low lying tidal area where routine flooding occurred. Rather than exhaust needless resources raising the elevation of the seawall the property owner opted to plant appropriate native tidal species to revegetate this area as well as other areas on the property. The end result is a timeless aesthetic that will reinforce the tidal area and negate the use of fertilizers.
