NRRI Fens
NRRI Fens is a 425-acre property near Zim, Minnesota, was acquired in 1986 to restore its function as a valuable peatland and fens bog after being drained in the 1950s for farmland. Decades of effort have restored the peatland - nature’s most effective carbon sequestration solution - and the restoration credits were sold to state agencies. Ongoing research on the site will continue to inform successful peatland restorations across the nation.
