Abstract/Description or Keywords Unit 2b of Corn Creek Marsh had not been drawn down since 1994. Dense stands of cattails as well as a thick layer of moss had developed and encroached on extensive portions of the permanently flooded ponds and ditches that connect several ponds. This vegetation encroachment caused a decline in use by wildlife and overall biodiversity. The overall goal of the project was to restore 50 hectares of wetland to increase wildlife use and encourage listed species such as the Northern Leopard Frog, American White Pelican, American Bittern, Great-blue Heron, and Western Painted Turtle to utilize the area for foraging and/or breeding.
