412 wetland acres were restored<br />

staff worked with multiple landowners over<br />
a period of several years to enroll the land<br />
in permanent conservation easements. This<br />
project has improved water quality, improved<br />

the project was provided by the Southwest<br />
Prairie JPO and BWSR.<br />
