The modeling exercise pinpoints geographic locations of potential restoration  that could potentially return multiple wetland functions by identifying the places where aquatic sediments and pollutants might be most easily “captured” through the reintroduction of bottomland hardwood habitats (i.e. reforestation, afforestation) on active, but marginal agricultural lands. By restoring these wetlands within high-priority forest breeding bird restoration areas, it is hoped that the benefits of both wetland functions (water quality, bird habitat) will be restored.
