Wetland Construction within Timber Harvest Areas in the Mountains (Episode 24)

See how small wetlands can be built in forested areas to improve habitat for frogs, toads, salamanders, dragonflies and butterflies. This video shows how four wetlands with open water were built from log landings in the Coastal Mountains of Northern California. The wetlands were constructed at a low cost without government assistance using an excavator owned and operated by the landowner. You’ll learn how to select good places for building wetlands in the mountains and how to construct them, so they create high quality habitat for wildlife and do not require maintenance.
