One of the more noticable transformations will occur where the field and woodland meet. Here the edge will be "feathered". Feathering removes the abrupt artificial edge and creates a gradual transition between habitats. This often results in a high degree of plant and animal diversity as species from both habitats are present in this transition zone.
The restoration is being documented through the use of 8 photo stations. To view progression of the restoration visit the Map Room. Each photo station consists of a 16-inch stake driven into the ground and a metal fence post placed a number of feet away from the stake in the direction that the photo will be taken. The tripod-mounted camera is leveled and centered over the stake then the fence post is centered in the camera's viewfinder. A series of 3 photos are taken and later stitched together to form a panorama view of each station.
