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-marsh. 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.<\/h5>\n<p class=\"no-underline\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2960\" src=\"https:\/\/serchapter2018.wpenginepowered.com\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-1536x913.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-450x268.jpg 450w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-600x357.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-1500x892.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-1300x773.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-lake-vista-400x238.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2961\" src=\"https:\/\/serchapter2018.wpenginepowered.com\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-450x301.jpg 450w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-600x402.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-1500x1004.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-1300x870.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/chapter.ser.org\/midwestgreatlakes\/files\/2024\/08\/Dixon-Waterfowl-Refuge-landscape-400x268.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View recording HERE!
