The shoreline of Wagon Hill Farm in Durham, New Hampshire was experiencing erosion and salt marsh loss from foot traffic, ice, tides, and boat waves. This project constructed New Hampshire’s first living shoreline using an almost-vertical rock sill that incorporated root wads. The project designers built out 9 meters of new marsh into the mudflats.

Nature-Based Solutions Case Study Search
This database contains over 400 implementations of nature-based solutions. Use the filters to identify the case studies most relevant to you.
While all cases here exemplify applications of NBS strategies, they were gathered from various sources and not all were written using the framing of nature-based solutions. To qualify as a nature-based solution, a project must provide benefits to both people and nature. In some instances, the human benefits are present but not emphasized in the case write ups; these cases were included because they still provide useful information to learn from.
