Hanlontown Slough’s prairie and wetlands attract wildlife and hunters to Iowa’s Worth County

A narrow strip of land, two plus miles long, with a history of being too wet to farm, has become an important waterfowl production area, home to other species in need of conservation and serving to improve water quality in the Cedar River watershed.
That piece of land, north of Hanlontown in Worth County, Iowa, has been developed into a high-quality public area, supporting waterfowl, remnant and reconstructed prairie, while positioned as an important basin to improve water quality.

The Cornwall Creek Flooding, located within the Pigeon River Country State Forest, is a popular northern Michigan location for fishing, paddling and other recreation.
Over the past couple of months, the water level of the 161-acre lake was lowered by several feet to address safety concerns with the Cornwall Dam, which creates the impoundment, and to prepare for the planned renovation of the dam.

As part of Gov. Mike DeWine’s H2Ohio initiative, the Ohio DNR (ODNR) recently celebrated the completion of the Baughman H2Ohio Wetland Restoration Project.
The Baughman H2Ohio wetland project restores 19 acres of wetlands, which will filter sediment and nutrients from the water before it flows into the Maumee River Watershed. The newly completed wetland will also address significant flooding issues that previously impacted nearby neighborhoods.
