Restoration projects could include aspects such as wetland restoration, prairie restoration, soil loss prevention (vegetative cover projects), plantings for wildlife habitat, filter strips, water retention or infiltration projects. Goals of such projects could include the following:
Projects If you have a project or organizations you work with are completing one in the watershed, we would like to post information about it here. Please contact us. Some of the information we would like to include would be a brief project description, project location, contact information and pictures. If you received grant funding for the projects we'd like to include a short summary of the grants and amounts. Others will benefit from knowing how you were able to accomplish your project.
If you are an agricultural landowner, there are program opportunities through USDA and SWCD to implement such practices. CREP is one example. Briefly, this program provides financial incentives, cost-share incentives and technical assistance to landowners who take environmentally sensitive land out of agricultural production. Landowners decide if participation in this voluntary federal-state and local conservation program would be beneficial based upon environmental, production and financial factors. For more information contact your local USDA and SWCD office. Click here for contact information on Kendall or Grundy offices.
