Greener Than Ever Before

While completing Master Plan restoration projects, the Conservancy has added/restored approximately 67 acres of new grass/sod and also… Reduced the amount of impervious surface in the park by narrowing roadways by 2 to 3 feet and creating green medians along the edge of roadways. Planted more than 600 trees (conservatively estimated at $300,000) in the last 5 years alone. Invested $300,000 to care for more than 1,000 mature trees in the park including pruning, deep fertilization, insect/disease control and kudzu removal. Implemented a tree identification program to better manage and care for park trees. Planted native plants around the lake edge including littoral shelves, water based plants that provide habitat and food for wildlife.
