Cattail Removal- Working Towards a Diversified Ecosystem

AEM Inc. strives to restore balance to natural as well as installed prairies, aquatic systems and more. At the Village of Deerfield’s Water Reclamation Facility, they are dedicated to similar goals. The village hired AEM to increase diversity of their prairies and rain gardens as well as clear their pond of cattails. To say the least, the cattails had become a monoculture. However, after AEM staff did a clearing, there is the possibility of introducing new, diverse aquatic plants to the system.
