Volunteers Flood Restoration Site For Clean Up


On August 21, 2012 about 40 volunteers from the community joined together at the Menominee Park Shoreland Restoration site for a clean-up project.  We successfully removed all of the ragweed and the few other undesired plants from the area, including disposal of all of the pulled weeds.  The Northwestern featured a front page photo of the clean up.  No city staff assistance or resources were needed or present (though Parks staff were informed and supportive of the project day).




Photos are from the restoration day of two different native plant species at the site:  blue vervain (above) and cone flower (below).  Overall, the installation is doing remarkably well - especially considering the dry summer and the reality that no manual watering occurred.
