Construction 2003 - Earthwork, Boardwalks, Pathways, Class Pad

Most construction other than the prairie and pond plantings was carried out during the summer of 2003.  This included the complete removal of all weeds, grasses, and trees that were currently growing on the site, creating the parking lot area, re-grading the entire site to support proper drainage and the ecosystem plantings that would follow, digging out the pond site and installing an impermeable clay liner, limestone pathways, and boardwalks around the site and over the pond area.
