An Oregon couple had 14 acres too wet for hay but too dry for wildlife; they restored them by turning them into a wetland that attracted birds in days and helped reduce flooding on their ranch

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Clarín · North America

Heidi and Stan Gorden stopped cultivating an area of their ranch in Bonanza, Oregon, that had never been productive, and turned it into a wetland. Ducks, geese, cranes, and pronghorns began to arrive within days, and flooding on the rest of the property decreased.
