Unlocking Societal and Environmental Benefits in the Kankakee Watershed by Expanding Conservation Efforts

The primary goal of this multi-state initiative is to address excess water as a resource concern by developing working lands type conservation practices and voluntarily establishing wetland easements. These conservation efforts facilitate water storage, build community involvement, and improve water quality within the initiative focal region. The key conservation practices are drainage water management, soil health and nutrient management practices and wetland restoration.
