• Biologic Design is an applied permaculture design consultancy.
• We design, create and plant constructed wetlands, known as Wetland Ecosystem Treatment (WET) Systems.
• We also design and implement Water Retentive Landscape designs, to enhance both drought resistance and flood resilience.
• Biologic Design’s WET Systems are soil-based, multi-species constructed wetlands, designed to integrate the purification of a range of wastewater types with the production of varied biomass yields, such as willow wands for basket making or fuel, as well as fruit and nut trees, whilst also creating wildlife habitat for enhanced biodiversity.
• Our work on whole site water reticulation plans is suitable for regenerative farms, and harvests the various water flows on the land to create water retentive landscapes.
• All of the water flows available on the land or farm - rainwater, wastewater, springs, and watercourses - can all be directed so that, in applied permaculture design terms, the water resource can ‘do its duty’ to create an abundant and productive functional landscape.
