The Wisconsin ClearWaters of Trout Unlimited (WCWTU) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) announced that work has begun on a newly acquired Sand Creek easement.
The new easement is between two previous stream restoration projects, and once completed will create and substantially enhance stream habitat for trout, land and water species that thrive on cold and clean water. The target date for the competition is July 1, 2018.
Sand Creek has previously undergone multi-year rehabilitation projects. Funding and contributions have come from WCWTU, WDNR, Xcel Energy, Dunn County Fish and Game and the Chippewa Valley Outdoor Resource Alliance.
Sand Creek enters the Red Cedar River at the Village of Sand Creek. This rehabilitation project enhances Sand Creek’s ability to provide clean water as a feeder stream to the Red Cedar River.
