Roth Pond Restoration

This ecosystem restoration project was the first project ever undertaken by CentriSeed. Aiming to address the widespread issue of rampant algal blooms in our own pond, corrective measures have been planted. Two phases of implementation will occur, the first consisting of several flower beds placed in strategic locations to limit runoff into the pond, and the second a floating island garden to absorb the excess phosphorus present in the water that encourages algal growth.

Progress

Researched plants that would be easy to control and have little negative ecological impact.

Plants need to also be easy to move for Roth Regatta in the spring

Going to start planting in Spring 2022 after Roth Regatta.
