Marks Cove Wetland Restoration Project

Despite the chilly weather, Emily and Andrea had a great day of fieldwork at Marks Cove on February 18th! We began the pre- and post-restoration photo monitoring, which will be conducted seasonally (winter, spring, summer, and fall) at 14 designated points across the site. At each monitoring point, we are capturing photos from four different perspectives (North, South, East, and West). These photographs serve to:

• Capture significant restoration efforts at the project site, such as the removal of legacy agricultural berms, ditch remediation, and floodplain reconnection.
• Demonstrate the project’s success to both scientific and non-scientific audiences by comparing pre- and post-restoration images.

Soon, we will begin the pre- and post- restoration soil moisture monitoring. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our work to restore Marks Cove!
