Adopt-a-Park Woodland Trails
I would like to continue to do volunteer projects in Woodland Trails Park.
This year projects will include:
1. Maintaining trail signs.
2. Prairie bums-see map.
3. Removal of undesirable woody vegetation from the prairie. Primarily
box elder and elm.
4. Prairie seeding along Golf Coarse entry road. Will the golf coarse pay
for seed?
5. Monitor and maintain 8 bluebird houses.
6. Work with the golf coarse on screening their new building. Red cedars?
Issues: Rang balls roll onto the driveway area that is to be seeded.
• Future projects will include continuation of the above plus other projects as
they come up. In the future we should look at planting more and different
native plant species to improve the biodiversity of the prairie.
