Town of Linn Nature Park
The Town of Linn Nature Park won the EPA's Conservation and Native Landscaping Award for efforts to restore wetlands and enhance water quality through biofiltration, which serves as groundwater recharge for the area. The reintroduction of deep-rooted native prairie species absorbs rainfall better than the non-native old field grasses that currently occupy most of the site.
