Mader Wetlands Restoration - Packy Mader
This event has ended
Thursday, February 13th, 2020
From 2014 through February 2018, the Mader farm in Minnetrista, MN (Hennepin County) underwent a restoration process that converted 41 acres of tiled agricultural land back natural wetlands. It is the first and only certified Wetlands Credit Bank Restoration project in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Packy will share the rewards and frustrations of going through the rigorous process which involved years of
engineering, berm construction, dealing with invasive plant species, planting native sedges, grasses, and wildflowers, and even the financial costs and benefits.
