Grassroots plan to convert wetlands near Anamosa
Anamosa residents led by Police Chief Dick Stivers propose turning a brushy mud hole by Elm Street and Riverside Cemetery into a wetlands park for waterfowl and wildlife. The plan, a small grassroots effort, seeks to deepen the pond, create a river inlet, build a levee and small dam with a controllable culvert, and develop a park with shade trees, a shelter, and parking. Approval from the Corps and state agencies is pending, with city backing and local donations already in place.
