Evenson Family Receives 1978 State Streambank Award
Bennett Evenson of Ettrick along French Creek has earned the county 1978 streambank improvement award and the Wisconsin state award for conservation work. His family reduced erosion since 1951 through contours, strips, rock riprap, and bank stabilization, with upstream neighbors joining in. The project protects 223 acres, preserves cattle and crops, and aids Lake Marinuka by reducing sedimentation while boosting wildlife habitat.
