Many opportunities exist to enhance wetlands in Anoka County. Practices include re-wetting peatland soils, plugging drainage ditches, and reconnecting floodplain wetlands to streams. If you own land with rich peat soils and drainage ditches, or own floodplain along one of Anoka County's streams, we would love to connect with you about wetland enhancement on your property!
