Smith Ditch restoration enters last stage
Three Olander Park employees dug into Smith Ditch’s muddy channel, placing sedges and other water-loving plants in the middle of the stream that runs through Sylvan Prairie Park. “It’s going to be nice to see what this place looks like in 20 years,” Ian Anderson, part of the Olander Park System conservation team, said. As part of the conservation team, Mr. Anderson, Maureen Bogdanski, and Becky Kanitz helped plant more than 3,000 native plants.
