Contract crews are beginning work on timber stand restoration at Valley Park this week. Crews will work on mitigating invasive species, as well as removing debris still remaining from the Derecho. This material will be chipped and spread on the site, which is beneficial for the soil. The project is expected to take 2-3 weeks, with the pollinator habitat being planted this fall.

Once pollinator habitat is established, we will be performing yearly maintenance to ensure invasive species are controlled. We will also be mowing walking trails throughout the property to allow for a pleasant hike.

Please contact the Parks & Recreation Department with any questions regarding this project.
