Wisconsin Wetlands Restoration Underway

In Manitowoc county, a wetlands restoration project is underway. The land was originally owned by the Henry family, who, a few years ago, donated the land to the Woodland Dunes Nature Center. After observing the land for a couple years, the Department of Natural Resources Wisconsin Wetland Conservation Trust, who oversaw the project, restored the land to its original state. The land is still not available for public use, however in just a couple years it should be completely public.

The article explained how a project that was meant to restore wetlands in Wisconsin was going. The article explained the process of the restoration and the current state that the restoration was in. This article showed a way in which we can restore wetlands. My reaction to the article was impressed by the generosity of the family that donated the land. It showed me that there are still people out there that care for the environment and are willing to make the necessary changes to aid the environment.

  1. I agree that it is very reassuring to see that people still want to help the environment. How long and how hard is the process to restore this land?

  2. I also agree, it is very reassuring to see that in the midst of everything going on right now that people still care for the land and the still are able to stay true to themselves. As the article said they plan to restore the land to its natural state, how do they go about this?

  3. That’s great that they could restore the land to its natural state. It shows that other areas that have endured a certain level of habitat destruction can still be restored, or at least helped. How long did this project take?
