Scientists and investors are working to restore a critical ecosystem. The area in question features fields of cotton, soybeans, and corn, as well as stands of pines and diverse wildlife, including warblers, deer, and black bears. Beneath the surface lies a dense, spongy peat layer up to 15 feet deep. This peat has been drained due to decades-old ditches from an abandoned farming venture.
