"It is a fantastic resource that I can't wait to share with others. This book provides clear explanations of the techniques for successful wetland restoration starting at small scales, but that can be extended to larger projects. With experience building and restoring wetlands spanning decades, Mr. Biebighauser has learned what works and what doesn't. Most importantly, he urges those interested in wetland restoration not to be discouraged by nay-sayers, nor to get too caught up in the semantics of restoration vs. construction, but to get out and build wetlands! Examples of people around the continent doing just that are abundant in this book. It is a valuable companion to Biebighauser's earlier book, and is a must-have resource for anyone wishing to be a practitioner of wetland restoration."
