We have reserved an area of approx 3/4 ac within our pondsite footprint as a shallower wetland zone. About 75% of this zone is open water. The balance is an area where we did not clear the timber all the way back to the normal pool shoreline. This way, the water will back up into the trees varying horizontal distances. I am guessing the water will go an average 40 ft. back along about 175 ft of shoreline, likely killing most of the timber it covers. I assume some trees will fall out into the balance of the cleared wetland zone...good! That's the plan.

OK, here's the question to my PB comrades.
Remember, this a wildlife refuge/nature preserve. I want to enhance this zone to promote exactly that. My first plan is to place Wood Duck houses on poles; maybe 4. What else?
