Conservation grant approved to support Indian Slough wetland work
Summary
A conservation grant for restoration work in Indian Slough was reported as approved; supervisors said the grant will help restore wetland areas and support related pump and hydrology work near Cooter Lake.
Committee member (S3) told supervisors a conservation grant for Indian Slough was approved and characterized the project as intended to restore wetland conditions in the area. The board heard that approved work will support wetland functions and that associated pump systems may shift water toward the western part of Cooter Lake.
S3 described the grant as helping the wetland portion of Indian Slough “be more wetlands down there,” and said conservation staff are following up with associated tasks including installation of pumps and other on-the-ground work. Supervisors noted the work complements other conservation maintenance such as shop repairs and removal of a ropes course, and that volunteers (including an Eagle Scout) are contributing signage and trail improvements.
The grant was described as approved at a recent conservation meeting; no formal vote was recorded in the board transcript beyond the committee report. County staff and conservation partners will coordinate project implementation and any public notifications about on-site work.
