This hour-long documentary tells the compelling story of an 8,000 acre wetland marsh in southern Indiana formed thousands of years ago by receding glaciers.
Not long after Indiana's statehood in 1816, the federal government began encouraging settlers to dredge, drain and tile Gosse Pond in an effort to make it suitable for farming. Because of the mucky soil and seasonal flooding, those efforts were only marginally successful.
For years, attempts were made by conservationist to reverse "progress" and restore the marsh to its original state as a refuge for the beautiful migratory birds that travel thousands of miles along the Mississippi Flyway from the southern tip of South America to the Arctic.
After years of struggle, the effort finally succeeded with the completion of the Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area, the largest and one of the most successful wetland restorations of its kind in U.S. history.
