An Ontario Site Check</h1> <p>A low, wet corner can be an ordinary garden bed, a wetland, a wetland edge, or part of a drainage or stormwater system.

Before filling, draining, excavating, or redirecting water, check which kind of site question you have.</p> <p><img src="https://nativeyardatlas.com/site-conditions/wet-garden-or-wetland-ontario/wet-area-triage.svg" alt="A wet-area triage path separates ordinary garden observations, possible wetland status, and engineered stormwater questions." loading="lazy" decoding="async"></p> https://nativeyardatlas.com/planning-and-planting/plan-native-wetland-shoreline-planting/ Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://nativeyardatlas.com/planning-and-planting/plan-native-wetland-shoreline-planting/ <h1 id="plan-native-planting-near-a-wetland-or-shoreline">Plan Native Planting Near a Wetland or Shoreline</h1> <p>Native planting beside water can support a site, but the word “planting” does not describe every kind of work a project may involve.

Before moving soil or vegetation, identify the site and proposed work and ask which local authority or qualified professional can confirm what applies.</p>
