Experiments in Wetlands Restoration

Here are links to some of our current projects. These contain descriptions of experimental design, graduate students involved in the projects and maybe a few site photographs. We welcome any and all input…we might not listen to it, but hey, this is the era of e-mail and anyone can offer advice with impunity. Right? Seriously though, we’d love to hear from you…
