Restored wetlands on a farm in Queen Anne's County, Maryland
A farm in the Chester River watershed is the site of a permanently protected 116-acre restoration project in Queen Anne's County, Md., seen on July 20, 2017. The farm is enrolled in the Natural Resource Conservation Service's (NRCS) Wetland Reserve program, and the project restored hydrology to 34.5 acres of forested wetland that had been drained, as well as 38.5 acres of cropland. It also established emergent wetlands, forest and meadow habitat, including warm season grasses and flowering plants to support pollinator species. Ditch plugs in the forest wetlands allow water to move slowly through, providing time for the water to soak into the ground and reducing nutrient pollution.
