Wetland Restoration in Western Minnesota with the Cook Waterfowl Foundation

[@colinvanful]

another thing to note is the birds fly in and out of wet lands (poop on the way ) free fertiliser for all the surounding lands there are more bugs around to eat the nasty crop eating bugs you don't want and the entire land around benifits from water seaping out even after it looks like the wetland has dryed up there is still a lot of water you don't see that plants can reach . GOOD JOB GUYS ! . keep working with nature .

I’m curious why you decided to burn rather than other methods? I’m not sure if the other methods are scalable or can be accomplished in your timeframe, but it would be good to explore for future projects. Great project, congrats.

What do you do with the spoil from the excavation?

[@mthompson]

What is the process of actually breaking the drain tile? Do you dig them up completely? Or just small sections? Do you plug the sections with anything, or just pack soil into them?

[@scottschaeffer8920]

Excellent. According to Farm Bureau, these are not wetlands, therefore, non restrictive to conversions. Baloney!

[@bee-doggin3134]

They own land by Garfield MN. Is this land available for public recreational use?

[@brandonmusser3119]

I hope they took the topsoil back on the hill where where it was at

[@brandonmusser3119]

From the pictures that looks good otherwise simply beautiful and stunning

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Trees were there before trees cool the water and keep it from evaporation and slow predator's. cooler burning is for the smoke and minimal burning and not Bering the ground

Its shame a video of a cat sneezing gets 100x the views this type of important work gets.

[@nicholasl.521]

More proof that people don't actually care about this kind of work!

[@TheKarelians]

This is absolute insanity. The claims this guy makes are not factual and there is no difference to his manipulation of the land and a farmer’s manipulation of the land. For example, he claims that the existing land does not recharge the aquifer. It won’t pond water because it’s not a wetland. The migratory birds need access to clean water on a regular basis. They prescribe burn when they could have uses herbivores.

[@earnestbass4043]

And moving dirt with an excavator is horribly inefficient. Govt spending other peoples money - what they do best!

[@Nic-kt6of]

What?
