- Right now, we are at the, across from RiverWorks,
along the Buffalo River on our
Submerged Aquatic Vegetation project.
The gentlemen behind me,
they're planting our riparian
zone plants along the water's edge.
This project has three zones
of plants depending on the plant's species
and how deep they can be planted in the Buffalo River.
Another part of this project
is protection of our plant areas.
As you can see,
our subcontractor has actually
put up fencing and installed
avian deterrent ropes so that birds
won't come in here and eat all our brand-new plants.
This site was chosen from many
locations along the Buffalo River
because it doesn't have industry right outside of it.
You know, we had a lot of old
dock here prior to this project
which our contractor LDC has removed last Fall.
It's really opened up this area
for a great planting space
which can be visible right across from RiverWorks.
