Haugtvedt Waterfowl Production Area Wetland Restoration

Haugtvedt -After (June 2024)

Haugtvedt -Before (July 2019)

This project was completed in association with Pheasants Forever to restore and preserve wildlife habitat in Minnesota.

The goal of this project was to restore a series of wetlands to post modification states by remediating drainage ditches that had been installed to minimize flooding to adjacent historic agricultural land. Overflow spillways were designed at each outlet with the capacity to meet demands of estimated peak waterflows through the area. The project was completed in August of 2023 and satellite imagery shows dramatic improvement to the wetlands.
