Wlldlif� trensect� Five wildlife transects were established, each crossing a vegetation plot except for � transect M1 which crosses photo point k4. Three of the transects are loceted in the constructed wetland area and the remaining two are loceted in enhanced buffer . areas. Transects are 300 feet long (91.5m), not inci��ding portions that cross the interpretive path or the perimeter hail. Each area will be sampled in spring or fall by carefully tuming over logs and rocks along transects and recording any observations or signs of wildlife. Egg masses and/or aduk amphibians will be recorded as observed. Wildlife transect locations are shovm on the sample p�int location map (Exhibit 1, included in the Map Section at the back of this report). D.
