Lest you believe the poor, impoverished state only has funds for recruiting beer companies, it has awarded Polk County funds for the Green River Watershed. Projects slated include:

  • Stabilizing failing streambanks
  • Increasing the steram’s connectivity with its floodplain
  • Improving stream channel dimensions and diversity.
