North Twin Wetland Restoration

The North Twin wetland restoration consists of two wetland restoration sites both located on Crow-Hassan Park Reserve. North Twin is the largest water resource within Crow-Hassan Park and is a previously restored 70 acre complex. The territorial wetland is an adjacent wetland and is 10 acres in size. These wetlands are significant because of high quality restored prairie that have provided excellent habitat in the past. They also are larger in size and are close in proximity to each other. These restored wetlands found inside of a prairie and oak savannah landscape will provide excellent habitat for wetland wildlife found within the Park. This may include Trumpeter Swans, Blanding's Turtles, and numerous amphibian species. The wetland will serve as a brood wetland as well as a migration wetland for waterfowl and other migratory birds. It will serve as a permanent home for beaver and muskrat.
