What to do with part of a wet yard when drainage is not possible?

Madeline
by Madeline
I have 2.75 acres of land with a home that I rent out to tenants. 2/3 of this land needs to be mowed. The rest is a wooded area. The part that needs mowing has a big section that stays too wet to mow during raining times. I am looking for ideas to make this a natural "wet lands" type of area. It would also reduce the mowing needed by the tenants.
Any suggestions? Swales, plants, etc
