1. Wetland Shrubs Marker

Inscription. Several species of shrubs were planted in the wetland to provide a woody vegetation layer valuable for wildlife cover and nesting. Small bare-root seedlings planted early in 1997 included Sandbar Willow, Red-osier Dogwood, Wood's Rose, Black Hawthorn, Golden Currant, and Squawbush. As the seedlings grow and reproduce, the wetland will transition from a wet meadow habitat toward a more mature meadow and shrub complex. The mature shrub layer will provide cover and food for a wider variety of species than would be present as a meadow.
