The muscle to get the job done.

Spring feed coming down from hillside ravine         Steady year round water supply

Hopes dashed

 2006- heavy rains in the spring and the overflow tube still not breached

 

The grand plan is to build a total of five ponds of varing size to attract wildlife and support aquatic activity. The first small watering hole which is spring fed has so far not been successful, the south side of the dam has sprung a leak. The dam will need to be reworked.

It is the end of June and the pond is now drained

The Prairie Restoration Project

The native grasses and forbes are in their third growing season this year. We did a spring burn on one 2 acres plot as a gauge.
