Oxbow Wetland Restorations Topic of Webinar
Iowa Ag Connection - 08/04/2020

Iowa Learning Farms will host a webinar on Aug. 5 at noon about the benefits of restoring oxbow wetlands.

Learn more about this promising edge-of-field conservation practice, its many benefits, potential funding pools, and other up-to-date news on the momentum and enthusiasm around oxbows.

Karen Wilke, Iowa freshwater specialist and Boone River Project director for The Nature Conservancy, will spotlight the multiple benefits that oxbow wetland restorations bring for water quality, wildlife, and people by sharing recent research findings and restoration experiences from the field.

Wilke has worked for The Nature Conservancy for the past seven years to research, promote and restore oxbow wetlands for improved water quality, floodwater storage and wildlife habitat across Iowa. She hopes attendees will leave with a sense of hope for the future, excitement for the possibilities, and a sense of purpose for moving forward.
