TN Nursery carries a variety of wetland mitigation plants. Wetland mitigation is the creation, restoration, or enhancement of wetlands, to compensate for wetlands that were or may be lost due to regulated activities or non-exempt agricultural activities. Wetland mitigation creation projects establish wetlands on upland sites. During creation projects, the elevations of the uplands are usually lowered by grading the soil for the purpose of increasing the frequency of soil saturation and flooding. Wetland restoration projects reestablish wetlands on sites where they were formerly located. Projects to improve the functions of existing wetlands by providing additional protection are considered wetland enhancement projects. Planting wetlands that are farmed or dominated by lawn grass is the most common type of enhancement project. Projects that can enhance existing wetlands, such as stabilizing the banks or restoring the natural meander pattern to a channelized stream, are examples of stream restoration projects. Enhancement projects do not, however, increase the acreage of wetlands.
One example of wetland mitigation plants is the Red Acer Rubrum Red Maple. The tree has an oval shape with string wood and is a fast grower. It is used for medium to wide tree lawns that are between four to six feet wide and over six feet in width. The Red Rucer Red Maple is typically used for barrier strips around parking lots or for median strip plantings in highways or as a residential street tree in northern and mild south climates. It can grow to between 60 and 70 feet in height with a spread of 23 to 35 feet. Its crown shape is oval, round and upright and its density is moderate, with a medium texture. The exceptional characteristic of the tree is its red, orange or yellow fall colors, sometimes all on the same tree, which lasts for several weeks. It is often one of the first trees to turn to fall colors and has a brilliant display.
