Wetlands plan tied to Lawrence SLI project grows
William Wellendorf and Roger Boyd push a Baker Wetlands expansion south of 31st Street near the Wakarusa River as part of a mitigation strategy for the South Lawrence Trafficway. The $975,000 effort, funded by the Kansas DOT, aims to create new wetlands by plowing hydric soils and planting species like arrowleaf and spike rush on 142 acres from 31st Street to the river, amid potential lawsuits over environmental impact claims.
