Goldsworth
Valley Pond
|
| |
In June of 2003, the water level of Western Michigan
Univerisity's Goldworth Valley Pond was lowered so that native
vegetation could be planted in the riparian areas. These plants
will provide wildlife habitat and protect the pond banks from
erosion. Highly erosive banks were reshaped to provide a gradual
transition from the pond to the upland areas. Plants and banks
were protected with a fiber blanket.
