Conserving Wild Wonders:
The Institute’s Pond Restoration Design Study

PROJECT SCOPE:
A comprehensive design study that will support the restoration of an approximately one-acre pond, aesthetically and functionally, in support of future educational, conservation, and recreational activities.

Our beautiful pond is a prominent feature of our nature center campus. It’s teeming with life, but currently suffering from bank erosion, a breech through the north pond wall, accumulation of nutrients and inadequate circulation.

This project will provide us with the information needed to proceed with the construction phase of a project that will help us conserve this incredible Wild Wonder for enjoyment by our community well into the future!

PROJECT COMPONENTS INCLUDE:

Feasibility Study—completed phases include:

i. Wetland Study Update

ii. Site Visit/Inspection (Geotech and Civil)

iii. Report of Findings and Recommendations
