NES is
currently working with Trout Unlimited and the Wisconsin
DNR on the restoration of the upper reaches of Mill
Creek, a tributary to the Onion River. This project
involves not only the reconstruction of stream channels,
but also the restoration of forested wetlands. The
restoration area is currently an abandoned aquaculture
facility, consisting of a series of excavated holding
ponds (top) and raceways (bottom). NES stream and
wetland restoration specialists are teaming with DNR
biologists and Trout Unlimited volunteers to restore
this coldwater habitat to its natural state. Design
plans are currently underway, and construction for this
project is set to begin in the Spring of 2001. |
