Valley Park Meramec Greenway Rehabilitation

Hello,

December was a busy month. One of the biggest projects included working with Great Rivers Greenway, World Bird Sanctuary, Audobon Society, the Native Plant Society, and the Mayor of Valley Park to determine the health and overall conditions of the riparian zone on the Meramec River. The city wanted to get in on a $60,000 fund being granted to greenspaces within a mile of a Dioxin site. Valley Park is the perfect candidate and holds a lot of opportunities for reform and improvement. This is an area that has been neglected for YEARS. It is about time we stop ignoring it and start maintaining it. With such a massive project underway, it is safe to say that 2010 is going to be really busy!
