re: Anyone deal with wetlands on their property?

We are looking to buy a house that has some designated wetlands area as part of the property. Is there any way I can turn that property into usable land? The house is awesome and there is a pond, but the wetlands issue is a big concern for me.

you got some other property you can put up for trade - same size of the wetlands on your property? I had to do this back in 2005 - a tract of land off HWY 22 between Springfield and Rome Ferry that I wanted bring up to at least 2 ft above sea level - traded same size tract off of HWY 42 near Holden exit - I had to swear, promise first born child not to ever build on property of HWY 42, I still have ownership - which was mostly swamp anyway - there is an outfit that are experts in this around Springfield/Carter Plantation - not gonna name them might get ban hammer.They usually have properties listed in the Louisiana Sportsman under camps.
