Wetlands are rich and diverse landscapes in the water-land interphase. They provide many ecosystem services to people as well as habitats to flora and fauna. Created wetland is a term used for newly built wetlands which are designed to provide both multiple ecosystem services and habitats supporting high biodiversity. We will study the theory behind and learn the design process of created wetlands. To enrich the learning experience, and to support the planet one wetland at a time, we will design and hands-on implement a small new created wetland as a piece of living environmental art.
Outi Wahlroos is an environmental scientist (Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology), ecological engineer (M.Sc. in Biological and Environmental Engineering), and ecological designer (M. of Landscape Architecture). She has 10 years of experience in molecular biology followed by 25 years in water environment protection with nature-based methods. She has carried out academic research on ecosystem services provided by her pilot created wetlands. As a professional practitioner she has designed multiple nature-based mitigation landscapes from holistically designed urban watersheds to stream and flood forest restoration, to green roofs and many kinds of created wetlands.
