Are There Seeds in Your Wetland? Assessing Wetland Vegetation is a practical guide that helps landholders and land managers understand whether a wetland has a viable seed bank and the potential to regenerate naturally. It explains how to assess wetland vegetation, identify indicators of past and present plant communities, and interpret what this means for restoration and management. The booklet supports informed decisions about whether natural recovery, changes to water regime, or active revegetation are needed to improve wetland condition.
