This manual provides information on the planning and application of techniques for reclamation of wildlife habitat. Most of the techniques in this manual are best suited for medium to large-sized sites that are five or more hectares in size. Small disturbed areas (less than 5 ha) also provide opportunities for habitat reclamation, but the types of uses may be limited by the available space relative to the spatial needs of the larger wildlife species. Nevertheless, habitat reclamation in small areas can benefit a number of wildlife species such as songbirds, upland game birds and furbearers. Some of the same techniques can be used to improve wildlife habitat along abandoned right-of-ways or portions of active right-of-ways.
