KENDRICK WOODS — Allen, Auglaize and Shelby County commissioners inspected a meandering section of the Auglaize River choked by a massive blockage of tree trunks, cut wood and other debris near Kendrick Woods on Thursday.
The Auglaize River and Two Mile Creek Stream Enhancement Project #1306 was approved on Nov. 20. Rahrig Tree Co. from Forest will begin work on the obstructions in the early spring.

Engineers estimated clearing logjams and trees along a 67-mile stretch of the Auglaize River from Westminster in Allen County through Auglaize County and ending at the Allen County-Putnam County line at approximately $777,000. Translating to an average cost of $1 to $8 per square acre funded through assessments of property owners who live around the Auglaize River basin.
