P\u00e4\u00e4si\u00e4ispuhteiksi ajattelin kirjoitella v\u00e4h\u00e4n erilaisesta aiheesta. Melko tarkkaan kaksi vuotta sitten kerroin ohimennen blogissa vesist\u00f6nsuojelu-projektista<\/a> joka j\u00e4i minun ja veljeni hoidettavaksi \u00e4itimme poismenon j\u00e4lkeen. Tai no, meille maanomistajille j\u00e4i oikeastaan vain asioista p\u00e4\u00e4tt\u00e4minen, sek\u00e4 muutamat k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6n toimet kosteikolla rakennusvaiheessa, sill\u00e4 Aito Suvi-projekti<\/a> hoiti kaiken rahoituksen hakemisesta ja suunnittelusta urakoitsijan valintaan. Kosteikkoa p\u00e4\u00e4stiin rakentamaan viime syksyn\u00e4 ja nyt se on valmis. T\u00e4n\u00e4 kev\u00e4\u00e4n\u00e4 kosteikolla suoritetaan mittauksia, jotka kertonevat veden laadusta ja korkeudesta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hankkeeseen rahoitusta ovat my\u00f6nt\u00e4neet Leader-rahoitus ja ELY. Luopioisten s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00f6pankkis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6lt\u00e4 ja Mets\u00e4 Groupilta saadut avustukset sek\u00e4 WWF:n Panda-palkinto ovat olleet my\u00f6s merkitt\u00e4vin osuuksin mukana rahoituksessa. N\u00e4iden ansiosta meille maanomistajille ei j\u00e4\u00e4nyt lainkaan maksettavaa, joka tietysti on hyv\u00e4 asia, sill\u00e4 kosteikon rakentaminen ei ole halpaa puuhaa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kotitilamme pellot ovat olleet vuokrattuna paikalliselle viljelij\u00e4lle jo vuosia, mutta kosteikon rakentaminen on sek\u00e4 meid\u00e4n, viljelij\u00e4n, ett\u00e4 luonnon etu. Se v\u00e4hent\u00e4\u00e4 merkitt\u00e4v\u00e4sti pelloilta j\u00e4rveen kulkeutuvia ravinteita ja maa-ainesta, v\u00e4hent\u00e4\u00e4 peltojen tulvimista ja edist\u00e4\u00e4 sek\u00e4 kasvien ett\u00e4 el\u00e4inten monimuotoisuutta alueella. Kosteikoiksi muutetut peltoalat eiv\u00e4t ole olleet viljelt\u00e4viss\u00e4 vuosikausiin. Kev\u00e4isin vesi on noussut pellolle ja pit\u00e4nyt sen jatkuvasti melko pehme\u00e4n\u00e4 ja kosteana, joten viljekykasvit siin\u00e4 eiv\u00e4t oikein menesty. Moderneilla maatalouskoneilla pellolle meneminen on ollut v\u00e4lill\u00e4 melko hasardia hommaa ja viljelij\u00e4 onkin tainnut juuttua peltoon koneineen kerran tai pari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aika n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 millaiseksi kosteikko ulkon\u00e4\u00f6llisesti muodostuu, sill\u00e4 siell\u00e4 ei talven j\u00e4ljilt\u00e4 viel\u00e4 oikein kasva mit\u00e4\u00e4n, mutta tulevaisuudessa siit\u00e4 toivottavasti muodostuu rehev\u00e4, monia kasveja, lintulajeja ja hy\u00f6nteisi\u00e4 kuhiseva keidas. T\u00e4m\u00e4n viikonlopun sateet ovat toivottavasti nopeuttaneet kosteikolle kylvettyjen kasvien nousemista maasta. Kosteikosta nostettu maa-aines puolestaan on levitetty viereisille pelloille, nostamaan maanpintaa yl\u00f6sp\u00e4in ja siten osaltaan v\u00e4hent\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n peltojen m\u00e4rkyytt\u00e4. Kosteikkoja rakennettiin t\u00e4ss\u00e4 tapauksessa kaksi. T\u00e4m\u00e4 kuvissa n\u00e4kyv\u00e4 tienvarren isompi kosteikko, sek\u00e4 valtaojan yl\u00e4juoksulle pienempi kosteikko, jolle en nyt t\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa jaksanut r\u00e4mpi\u00e4 peltojen l\u00e4pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aito Suvi ry teett\u00e4\u00e4 vesist\u00f6jenkunnostushankkeita P\u00e4lk\u00e4neell\u00e4, mutta ymp\u00e4ri Suomen l\u00f6ytyy useita muita vastaavia hankkeita. Hankesuunnitelmat tehd\u00e4\u00e4n maanomistajan aloitteesta, joten maanomistajat ovat avainasemassa vesiensuojelussa. Mik\u00e4li vesist\u00f6jen kunnostus kiinnostaa, suosittelen tutustumaan aiheeseen Aito Suvi ry:n verkkosivuilla. Sielt\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy tarkempaa tietoa vesist\u00f6jen kunnostuksesta ja voit tutkia kaikki P\u00e4lk\u00e4neen kunnostuskohteet<\/a>.

We have long weekend here in Finland due to Easter holidays, so I thought to write about not-so-usual theme. Pretty much exactly two years ago I shortly mentioned about a water conservation project that was left to me and my brother after our mother passed away. Well, we landowners were really only left with the decision making, and some small hands-on work on the wetland during the construction phase. Aito Suvi project<\/a> took care of everything from applying for funding and design to choosing a contractor. Construction of the wetland started last autumn and is now complete. This spring some tests will be taken at the wetland to determine the quality and level of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has been funded by Leader Suomi and ELY. Grants from the Luopioinen Savings Bank Foundation, Mets\u00e4 Group and The WWF Panda Award have also made a significant contribution to the funding. Thanks to these, we landowners didn’t have to pay anything, which is of course a good thing, as building a wetland is not cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fields on our farm have been leased to a local farmer for years, but it is beneficial to all, us, the farmer, and nature that the wetland was built. It significantly reduces nutrients and soil run-off from the fields into the lake, reduces flooding on the fields and promotes both plant and animal diversity in the area. The area has not been possible to cultivate for many years. In spring, water rises and keeps the field fairly soft and wet, so crops do not thrive in it. Going into the field with modern agricultural machinery has sometimes been a rather hazardous job and the farmer has been stuck in the field with his machinery once or twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time will tell what the wetland will look like, as nothing is growing there yet after the winter, but hopefully in the future it will become a lush oasis full with plants, birds and insects. The soil from the wetland has been spread over the fields to raise the ground level and thus help to reduce the wetness of the fields. In this case two wetlands were built. The larger roadside wetland, which you can see on the photos, and another smaller one, upstream of the trench. This time I could not be bothered to walk up there through the fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aito Suvi Association commissions waters restoration projects in P\u00e4lk\u00e4ne, but there are many other similar projects around Finland. Projects are initiated by the landowner, so landowners are key to water protection. If you are interested in waters restoration, I recommend that you visit the website of Aito Suvi ry (unfortunately only in Finnish). There you will find more detailed information on waters restoration and you can explore all the restoration sites in P\u00e4lk\u00e4ne<\/a>. Our wetland plan can be found here<\/a> and an article about finishing our wetland can be found here<\/a>. I also recommend to read the article about the tour of our wetland projects<\/a>, which has a great aerial view of our wetland.<\/p>\n\n\n
