“The Wetland Initiatives large-scale wetland restoration projects in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana”<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Katie Kucera, ecologist with The Wetlands Initiative, will give attendees an overview of TWI\u2019s large-scale wetland restoration projects in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana. TWI\u2019s mission focuses on restoring landscapes\u2014including wetlands\u2014to improve water quality, climate, biodiversity, and human well-being. At the Dixon Waterfowl Refuge, TWI has restored 3,000+ acres of wetland and upland habitat along a corridor of the Illinois River, benefiting birds, plants, and outdoor enthusiasts. In the bistate Calumet region, through collaborative partnerships with a range of conservation peers, agencies, and local community groups, TWI is having success restoring degraded\/remnant urban wetland areas to healthy hemi. This on-the-ground work is benefiting a range of wetland-dependent birds that had been nearly extirpated from this area, and also returning quality natural areas for the Calumet\u2019s underserved communities to visit and enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n
