Restoration projects utilize seed and pole trees planted in a variety of experimental planting methods.  
Bird and vegetation monitoring is conducted annually to test the success of all restoration projects, and to identify areas mature enough to undergo adaptive management. Bird counts and vegetation surveys are conducted in the fall, and special bird species are surveyed in the spring.
