Keeping Norfolk Beautiful
Over the course of two days in October, 40 volunteers with the Lafayette Wetlands Partnership, Norfolk Master Gardeners, Davidson College Alumni and Colonial Place neighbors completed a 150 foot extension of the clamshell pathway along the Knitting Mill Creek natural buffer.
The pathway now links the natural buffer with the newly installed living shoreline to the south.
The group also created a new access path through the existing buffer zone, planted 300 more Salt Meadow Hay grasses (Spartina patens) behind the bulkhead and planted 175 buffer plants along the new living shoreline.
