Waypoint personnel developed a 48 acre wetland restoration project to create 48 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands in Autauga County, Alabama.   To accomplish this, the first step has been grading to allow hydrology to be restored to the area. This has allowed hydrophytic vegetation and soils to be re-established. 

Various hardwood tree species have been planted across the site to help further establish the bottomland hardwood wetland type.  Trees, shrubs, and ground cover help to stabilize the soil and decrease erosion at the site.   Trees planted at the wetland restoration site are experiencing high survival rates and thriving in the newly adapted hydric soil conditions.

Leveloggers have been installed across that allow the tracking and documentation of groundwater levels, and soil saturation throughout the year.  The data is then transferred to USB for use in further analysis of the success of the wetland.
