Figure 5. The type of wetland targeted for a creation or restoration can have a large effect on the success of the project. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation/US Geological Survey restoration site targeted a shallow-water marsh (a relatively easy wetland type to restore). This resulted in a higher wetland success rate at the restoration site than at the creation site when evaluated as percent of site acreage.
