Riverland Conservancy Project

The Riverland Conservancy Project, located in Sauk County, had its final restoration phase completed in 2004. This is a picture of the 2003 phase of the restoration project during construction. We removed the clay/silt layer, exposing the ancient peat. This project is very remarkable in that it will result in very diverse habitat.  The Riverland staff is doing a great job restoring areas surrounding the wetland area to native prairie and a public trail winds through the entire site.

With this portion of the restoration shown above completed in September 2003, the Riverland Conservancy site in Sauk County anxiously awaits its first growing season
