Ruby's Wetland Bank Credits will become available in December of 2009.
Engineered drawings and descriptions of what is about to happen will follow in this blog.
Less than 100 years ago, the land was pristine and unplowed. The local ditch authority made the decision to tile the county in order to increase the taxable acre base and to encourage farmers to move into the county and to farm lands that were now drained or nearly drained wetlands.
The wetlands on Ruby's Farm were tiled to extinction in the 1970's.
Today, plans are being made to reestablish the three basins that once were on the farm.
In the future, native wetland plant varieties and upland plant varieties will be replanted to allow the wetland and prairie to be reestablished.
We will be bringing nature back to Ruby's Farm.
