Removal of invasive species, planting of more than 3,000 trees planned and implemented by conservation, forestry specialists, funded by private individual
A project focused on the enhancement of vegetative - and coincidingly wildlife - habitat along the 5 Bridges Trail in Waukon City Park got underway this past week. The project is a collaboration of local, state and environmental professionals, but the entire project cost of more than $14,000 is being paid for through the generosity of an anonymous private donor.
“This isn’t something that we just decided to do on our own,” Waukon Park & Recreation Director Jeremy Strub explained. “It’s a project that was proposed to us with the costs covered, and we’ve spent most of the summer talking about it and planning it out so we could get it started this fall.”
