Introduction
These are trees that do well in riparian zones, as they can withstand damper soil conditions than other tree species.

Tree Species of Riparian Areas
The following are some examples of appropriate trees for these ecosystems, since they have evolved to withstand wetter soils.
Always double check before planting anything, to make sure it is a native species to your area, or else you risk unleashing invasive species which can have devastating long-term impacts.
