Featured Project

Keller Golf Course

Ecological restoration work on Maplewood’s Keller Golf Course earned Project of the Year honors from the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts at the organization’s annual meeting this past December. Our 15-year partnership with Course Superintendent Paul Diegnau has created substantial urban wildlife habitat on this Ramsey County course while protecting the Phalen Chain of Lakes from runoff.

Our Natural Resources team is already prepping for 2021 restoration work. They are removing brush and small buckthorn trees at the third phase section of Wetland A in Snail Lake Regional Park. It will make room to bring back plants native to the area and to create a resilient shoreline for the wetland.

Staff spotted this fun reuse of bio logs after they were removed from a permit project. Bio logs are used for sediment control and shoreline stabilization by filtering or preventing sediment from leaving a site. The RWMWD works to ensure water standards, including for erosion and stabilization, are followed at development projects throughout the district. Find out more at rwmwd/buff.ly/377pmoa
