Conservation Restoration
When the invasive thicket is removed, the pine-hardwood forests will have a very different character than they do now. These areas within Memorial Park will be ideal for both people and wildlife. The canopy of the existing mature trees are ideal bird habitat. A restored understory and midstory will become better habitat and forage for wildlife. Carefully designed trails will allow people to experience select areas within the forest. Work includes invasive species management, trail work, native plant & trees grow out, seed collection, and more.
