Gravel pits in forest ecosystems provide unique habitats for a variety of wildlife species due to features such as steep banks, storage piles of excavated material, exposed mineral soil, and surface water. In north central Minnesota there are 51 species associated with these characteristics. Gravel-pit management and rehabilitation can be coordinated to meet wildlife management objectives by providing dead and dying trees for cavity-nesting species, shallow areas of surface water, and downed logs and by maintaining vertical banks and areas of bare ground.
