Tour three of the City of Siloam Springs’ constructed wetlands features and the Lake Frances Wetland. This is an excellent opportunity for city staff, developers, and private landowners to see first-hand how constructed wetland features can add value to public spaces, manage stormwater, enhance wildlife habitat, and improve water quality. Meet at Ivory Bill Brewing and then hop the bus to visit wetland features at Bob Henry Park, Simmons Headquarters, the Golf Course, and Lake Frances.
Please prepare for a bit of rain, we have adjusted the agenda to try and miss the worst of it in the afternoon. Bring an umbrella, a water bottle, and wear comfortable (waterproof) shoes and clothing appropriate for walking in mud and rain. Sun and wind protection is also recommended. Email Jake Owens at jake@irwp.org if you have any questions.
