Photographs taken from the same location before and after restoration dramatically
reveal the natural landscape that was obscured by buildings, roads,
and parking lots. In areas where planting was conducted to restore vegetation,
tree and shrub seedlings are visible in the photographs. In areas where
natural regeneration was the sole means of restoring vegetation, recovery
is slower: tiny tree and shrub seedlings are present in many locations
but not highly visible in the photographs. Photograph locations are
permanently marked, and restoration sites will be photographed for at
least 10 years after restoration to visually record site recovery. Click
on a point on the map below to view the before and after photos from
