A Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (PFWP) wildlife habitat restoration project was completed on the Fiorio Brothers Farm in November of 2007.  This area of agricultural land south of the city of Ashland, Wisconsin, is a focus for local restoration efforts to restore watershed health in the Chequamegon Bay area. 

The project also falls within the Lake Superior Watershed focus area for Region 3’s PFWP.  The project consisted of 2 wetland restoration sites totaling 4 acres.  Also included in was the enhancement of 36 acres of upland grass waterfowl nesting cover through a deferred haying/grazing agreement.  A PFWP Habitat Development Agreement was signed to protect the restored area for a period of 10 years.
