County: Outagamie
Acres to Restore: 10
By Peter Ziegler, Project Director
The mild temperatures have been nice for some things in the habitat world and not so good for others. We currently have a project under construction in Outagamie County and the mild temperatures made it possible to actually install erosion matting during winter construction without having to install it within minutes of when the machines finish.

The downside is we have a number of projects which need good frost depth to be completed and that is not even close to happening yet. To see what we have been up to, I’m sharing a few pictures of this Outagamie project site.
The water control structure will allow water management on approximately 10 acres of habitat, which was formerly a field dominated by invasive species. The scrape will add some diversity of water depth in an area where open water will provided good brood and breeding habitat.
