1 of 7 Years ago, the wetland on the corner of Leo Koppelmanâs Cleveland Township farm site was a meadow. Here, he stands at the site of a 2.5-acre wetland restoration before work began. The Le Sueur County SWCD project, which finished in summer 2020 and draws from a BWSR Clean Water Fund grant, directs water from neighborsâ upland fields through the wetland. The water is now treated before it enters Middle Jefferson Lake.
