In this Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017 photo, Chris Lowie, refuge manager Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, adjusts a board on a water control structure along The Washington Ditch in the swamp in Suffolk, Va. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is trying to undo the damage by gradually “rewetting” the swamp. Lowie and his staff are slowly raising the water table in the swamp’s remaining 113,000 acres by capturing and rechanneling rainfall in the vast network of ditches that scar the land.
