DESCRIPTION OF RESTORATION AREA:
Two main wetland areas exist within the park boundaries. One is in the northeast corner of the property where the smaller stream (“Fox Creek”) comes to the surface. This area is overgrown with brush and largely inaccessible. The second area is larger and more open and is found midway down the property just west of Fox Creek. Swampy through much of the year, this area is bordered by willow and beech trees and has many water tolerant species such as Arum, Yellow Pond Lilly, Fox Grapes, Jewel Weed and various grasses proliferating. Approximately 40’ x 80’, this wetland abuts Janet Littleton’s property to the east, the forest to the north and the Marsh-Meadow to the south and west.
STEWARDSHIP GOALS:
1. Protect the wetland from human encroachment.
2. Survey the species that exist in the wetland.
3. To explore regulatory requirements and permitting to restore the area.
4. Identify tasks that bring the trees back to health.
5. Create protected walkways that visitors can enjoy the wetland without injuring it.
