Mader Farms Wetland Restoration
From 2014 – Februrary 2018, the Mader farm in Minnetrista on the western edge of Hennepin County underwent a restoration process from being 41 acres of tiled agriculture land to returning to its natural wetlands. It is the first and only certified wetlands credit bank restoration project in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
