Major project activities included:

  1. Bio Log installed at the shoreline to break up wave action
  2. Native aquatic plant plugs were planted into the bio log for long term shoreline protection
  3. Native wet meadow and upland plants and plugs with mulch were planted in the transitional area between the shoreline and top of the bank.

Project funding: Total project cost was $1,368.00
