Something Else????."??.? ......................... <br /> <br />Some years ago we worked with Environmental Services on a partnership project on Hwy 10 at the DOT <br />Weigh Station. The shrubs and trees are now.well established. The median prairie restoration however did <br />not survive maintenance mowing. Having access to technical design and project implementation could be <br />very beneficial and have successful results for vegetation choices and establishment, biologically healthy and <br />sustainable with Iow maintenance as well as a pleasing aesthetic for the final landscaping features. <br /> <br />We have an annual Tree Sale and Environmental Expo that is a well attended spring festival and a focus for <br />community volunteers and developing partnerships. Our Environmental Spedalist has helped develop this <br />community event with the elementary school, and has managed several DNR proposals and projects with <br />community volunteers We would like to showcase some of our landscape restoration and Iow input <br />management options as suitable for homeowners and businesses. <br /> <br />We feel that our staff time and volunteer coordination can be greatly enhanced by seeking your technical <br />assistance for these goals and local effort. <br /> <br /> <br />
