Ho-Chunk
Nation receives Wetlands Conservation Award
The
Ho-Chunk Nation was recognized this month as the Region 3 Runner up for
the National Wetlands Conservation Award. The Nation was nominated by
the Wisconsin Private Lands Office for the restoration of 75 acres of
wetland and 185 acres of prairie on tribal lands in Juneau County, Wis.
The restored wetlands and prairie will provide increased habitat for
waterfowl, wading and grassland birds. It is estimated that as many as
75 species of birds could use the site including sandhill cranes and
Henslow's sparrow. The project will provide improved water quality to
the Lemonweir River. The Project is on lands purchased by the Nation
for housing development, but later changed to natural resource restoration
area. Offices Involved: R3-Wisconsin Private Lands Office Partners: Wisconsin
