Yes, that's right - brush piles and windrows of waste wood (from logging) are used to recreate habitat. Cowan et al 2011 (and 2012?; maybe they're 2021/2022 respectively, I forget) has some great papers on how artificial refuges need to be constructed properly, otherwise they're unused, or can serve as predator traps. I have the papers somewhere, though I had to request one from him.

If you're interested, DM me and I'll send them to you; it will require some digging, and I'm busy today, so I warn you turnaround might be slower than I'd like.
