Please join us at Al Martens Farm to see on-the-ground habitat projects and to learn about some of the cost share programs available for landowner interested in improving habitat on their own property.

About the GHRA:
The Glacial Habitat Restoration Area (GHRA) is a program aimed at restoring, creating and maintaining habitat for waterfowl, wild pheasants and non-game songbirds. The program's focus is the creation of a patchwork of restored grasslands and wetlands amid the established croplands of Columbia, Dodge, Fond du Lac and Winnebago counties.

Event Presentations:
• Brian Kind with the Natural Resources Conservation Service will speak about wetland scrape design and suitable soils for implementation.
• Sara Comstock with Ducks Unlimited will talk about the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and the assistance the program provides to landowners.
• Peter Ziegler with the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association will give an overview of wetland restoration and what to expect with cost share programs.
• Greg Olsen with the Sand County Foundation will explain the many benefits of Prairie Strips including pollinators and soil health.

A grill out lunch will be provided by the Fond du Lac County Chapter of Pheasants Forever.
