A major restoration effort is underway in northwest Minnesota withe the Middle Snake Tamarac Rivers Watershed breaking ground on the Swift Coulee project in Marshall County. SWCD Administrator Mori Mahar said this project restores nearly ten miles of a long-neglected natural waterway, resolving a decades-old conflict between landowners and state authorities. “”It will meet the requirements from the DNR and also meet the drainage needs for the landowner.” Phase One includes four miles of channel restoration. The second phase of the project, which is dependent on the availability of funding, is expected to be complete in 2027.
