Reclaimed lands provide fish and wildlife habitat if water is present. Shape, location and number of pits, and the type of revegetation affect colonization by animals. Sand and gravel pits can be restored for wildlife use but monitoring is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of reclamation. -from Authors
