o_g - Stumps when submerged have a pretty strong tendency to float. Be sure you anchor them firmly to the bottom/sediment if that's where you want them located.

You can also create a large brush - stump pile nearby in the woods for rabbits and other small animal cover. You will be surprised how many animals will seek refuge in a massive brush pile. Stumps as a basis will keep brush from compacting too densly so animals can manuver under and through the brush-pile canopy.
