Public Walk Through of the Ruddiman Creek and Pond Site
April 10, 2006

On April 10, 2006, a public walk through of the Ruddiman Creek and Pond site was conducted to discuss the restoration plans for the site following remediation.  The contractor who is undertaking the work was on hand to provide specific information about where the major plantings will occur and describe what seedling mixtures are planned.  The community began planning for followup care and monitoring of the restoration areas.
