The final touches of a two-year restoration project for the Riverview ATV Park in Kewaunee have been completed this week. Kewaunee County wrapped up the project with help from Heim’s Hillcrest Dairy to seed a nine-acre parcel that will serve as a pollinator buffer at the park. In addition to helping out local wildlife, the buffer is designed to prevent erosion and surface run-off that has been a commonplace the last two years thanks to above-average rains. The restoration project also included the installation of three wetland basins to help capture some of the excess water on the site. Working with the Kewaunee County Land and Water Conservation Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Parks Director Dave Myers is hopeful the adjustments work the way they were designed.

Myers says the Riverview ATV Park was busy this year and there are more projects on the horizon. With help from the Baylake ATV Club, the park could be seeing a new picnic shelter as well as a beginner’s area developed in the near future.
