ENGLISH LAKE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT: RES-English Lake Northern Buffer Strip Project

Purpose

English Lake P&R District proposes to restore ecological functionality on approximately 9 acres of land located on the north end of English lake. The objectives include establishing an oak savannah type of upland drainage area on old farmland., restoring wetland functions to a wooded ephemeral wetland, and integrate the project site with educational initiatives while partnering with Manitowoc Co Soil and Water Conservation, and Manitowoc County Lakes Association. The project will include: bio-log installation around key drainage points on the perimeter of the wooded wetland (approx 5 acres); revegetation of all agricultural land (approx 4 acres) utilizing native seed, shrub, and tree planting; appraisal of forested wetland plant community; and establish an I&E initiative with local partners for promotion of the best management practices being employed at the buffer site At the conclusion of the project installation and integration, the sponsor will provide a report detailing the methods and results.
