MANAGEMENT
PHILOSOPHY
The Nature Park also has a
management philosophy that encourages the
establishment of native vegetation, with the
ultimate goal of providing intact natural
habitats thriving with native flora and
fauna.
An extensive management plan
is currently being created. The plan is
designed to evolve with the park; as the
park changes the management plan can and
should be changed when needed.
Look at our information on
Native Plants
including our extensive Native Demonstration
Gardens and our 50 acre Prairie Creation
Project
