Greg and Steve <br /> <br />I have contacted both the DNR and the Rice Creek Watershed District regarding the removal of trees within a wetland. There doesn't seem to be any explicit rules from either of these <br /> agencies that prohibits the removal of trees. <br /> <br />The removal of trees would only require a permit if heavy equipment that would impact the wetlands are to be used. <br /> <br />The DNR has no rule against the removal of trees, but recommends against it because trees do play a role in a wetland ecosystem. <br /> <br />Attached are the responses from the aforementioned agencies. <br /> <br />Thanks <br />Nick Fleischhacker <br />Public Works <br />
