The Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District will receive $315,000 from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) federal grant program to restore riparian corridors along 16 miles of Ashwaubenon Creek and 10 miles of Dutchman Creek in Wisconsin. Over the next three years, the Sewerage District will address water quality, riparian and instream habitat fragmentation, and degraded aquatic habitat through restoring 1,200-1,500 feet of riparian areas. Activities will include in-stream debris removal, selective tree thinning, invasive plant removal, adding in-stream habitat for fish and wildlife, planting desirable tree species, and seeding floodplains with native seed mixes where herbaceous vegetation is lacking. Restoring riparian corridors is intended to improve downstream water quality and aquatic habitats by reducing runoff and stabilizing stream banks, both sources of excess nutrients and sediment. The work will also enhance forage, pollinator, migratory bird and waterfowl habitats.
