In this episode of The Lake Doctor Podcast, we wade into the world of wetlands with Landon Vine, a wetland scientist at V3 Companies. Landon shares his passion for these vital ecosystems and explains how wetlands serve as nature’s filtration systems—cleaning water, supporting biodiversity, and protecting communities from flooding. Through his work, Landon bridges the gap between environmental science and everyday impact, showing how restoration and responsible development can work hand-in-hand. With visual aids, Landon shows how unique Indiana's wetland plants are as well as their aesthetic beauty.

Together, we explore the challenges and rewards of wetland conservation and what it takes to maintain, restore, and even create these complex landscapes. Landon’s insights offer a fascinating look at how science, stewardship, and collaboration can preserve the health of our waterways for generations to come.
