H2Ohio celebrated the completion of a new 16‑acre wetland complex at the Funk‑DeWald Nature Preserve, managed by Heidelberg University.

These types of standard reclamation projects create meaningful, long‑term water quality and biological benefits without requiring ongoing operation and maintenance funding. Learn more: https://h2.ohio.gov/home/news-and-events/all-news/odnr-celebrates-completion-gosline-h2ohio-project.
