The project restored approximately 20 acres of wetland habitat, including palustrine emergent, scrub-shrub and forested wetlands, and restored 7.6 acres of upland habitat and enhanced 55.5 acres of upland habitat. The restoration included removal of artificial dams and human-made ponds, re-establishing palustrine wetland habitat, reconstructing and enhancing sections of the Van Campens Brook, relocating 1.6 miles of an energy distribution line, and restoring the connection between Van Campens Brook and its natural floodplain.

The team performed multiple pre-design studies to understand the ecological, biological, and physical processes of the project area and regional landscape. WSP and The National Park Service (NPS) engaged in a collaborative design process that integrated the results of the pre-design studies along with the project goals and feedback received from NPS expert advisors.
