Watershed Natives and MDC deploy Floating Wetland at Valley Water Mill Lake

Why Floating Wetlands Matter
Floating wetlands are a creative solution to enhance water quality. The aquatic plants, such as arrowhead, pickerelweed, swamp milkweed, and fox sedge absorb excess nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphorus), which helps reduce algae blooms and filter pollutants. They also help sequester carbon and enhance biodiversity by supporting various plant and animal species.Â
