The before and after shots of WWA’s Suamico Headwaters project shows how dramatically the landscape can change once site work is completed and mother nature provides a little rain. This project was completed by WWA with funding from our Large NAWCA grant.

It is also amazing how a 2 foot berm, installed during construction, can really spread water over a large area when it is flat and the field had been drained. The image, below, shows the Suamico Headwaters site post-construction:
