Habitat Restoration and Soil and Water Conservation – Swale Progression

Transitioning from “Hell on Earth” to a beautiful sanctuary. The objective for this project is to capture and manage the properties runoff, build soil, and encourage more bird species to visit.  A system of conservation terraces was installed to capture runoff and soak it into ground to passively irrigate the berms that were planted with a diversity of bird attracting trees, shrubs and herbs. The berms were amended with compost, minerals, manure, mycorryzal fungi and mulch to give the soil a boost of fertility.  A pond was installed to provide a perennial watering hole for all wildlife that is attracted to the site.  One day the pond will be surrounded by a beautiful food forest that nourishes the client and most of all her well managed ecosystem.
