Wetland Conservation Act

For many years, the Rice SWCD has worked with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to restore wetlands. Often, cropland areas can be restored to wetlands by simply breaking tile drainage lines. Other sites require more involvement such as building a dike to contain water.

If you would like to consider a wetland restoration on your land, please give us a call. Financial and technical assistance may be available.
