Phase I will improve the habitat for many plants and animals. This will be achieved primarily by removing exotic species such as privet and honeysuckle. Archeoliogical clearances and assesments of flow patterns in the wetland will help set the stage for phase 2.

In phase II, severely eroded stream channels could be reshape and stablilized using natural vegetation. Proposed activities include removing clogged culverts alnong the Chattahoochee River to restore channels. Rock cascades installed in the place of these culverts would allow fish to pass up the cascade from the river to 10 to 15 feet to the wetland terrace above.
