  2. Where is it?

  3. The purpose of this proposed project is to restore lost wetland functions (primarily wildlife use) on adjacent lands; one private and one owned by NY State.  Potholes and level ditches will be constructed to create openings in a degraded, freshwater, non-tidal wetland for enhancement of habitat value for migrating and nesting waterfowl, marsh birds and muskrats.  Plant diversity in the marsh will be increased by reestablishing hydric conditions that will encourage the growth of submerged aquatic vegetation in the potholes and level ditches.  Amphibians and macro-invertebrates will benefit from the construction of several fish-free potholes near shore. Waterfowl will find suitable brood rearing habitat. Visibility of wildlife will improve in some sections of the project for public enjoyment and educational opportunities.  A personal commitment will be made by the private land owner (Tidball) to habitat improvement and management.  Public access will be encouraged on the public lands (Canoga Marsh WMA) and the project will serve as a demonstration area for wetland enhancement.
