The Lead
The city's regional preserve corridor is entering its next phase of native wetland restoration this weekend, enhancing stormwater retention and native wildlife habitats across the eastern edge of the preserve. Crews have completed the selective clearing of invasive melaleuca trees, making way for hundreds of newly planted native bald cypress, slash pine, and wax myrtle saplings.
The initiative improves natural water filtration before runoff reaches the regional watershed while expanding buffered walking trails along the perimeter. Parks staff will monitor soil hydrology throughout the coming wet season to evaluate seedling root stability and natural ground cover regeneration.
