The Oshkosh Scene dedicated a full page to the shoreland restoration efforts of summer and fall 2013, opening with the following quotes from Anne and David Ruby, who live across the street from the restoration site:
"I am so pleased that this kind of work to improve native habitat and improve water quality is happening in my neighborhood,” shared Miller’s Bay neighbor Anne Ruby. Ruby volunteered in April 2013 to help out at the shoreland restoration site at the northern edge of Menominee Park.
“I love how the site has become a learning tool for me and my daughter. On severaloccasions in the last year, my daughter and I have walked past the area, and we’ve observed and identified songbirds, butterflies, and blooms that we don’t see nearby.”
Ruby is one of over 200 community volunteers that have helped out at the site sincework first began October 2011, joining park neighbors, high school and UW Oshkoshstudents, Boy Scouts, city counselors and the mayor, local nature and gardening organizations, and many others who together have made this project possible."
The article ran in the August 2013 edition of the Oshkosh Scene. Founder and Director of Growing Oshkosh Dani Stolley was also quoted in the piece, voicing strong support for the restoration efforts.
