Another Rain Garden and More Muddy Kids
Posted by Brian Leaf under Info, Events, Kid's Program, SDNC in the News
If you missed it last week, Severson Dells Nature Center and the Natural Land Institute teamed up with 74 6th graders from Rockford Christian to sow 6.5 acres of drainage area with the 40 native species.
The site drains the Red Oak Estates subdiivsion on Rockford’s east side, near the southwest corner of Bell School and Rote roads.
Rockford Register Star reporter Melissa Westphal and photographer John Elbers came out to cover us, as did a videographer WTVO 17 and Fox 39.
It was a great, fun and muddy day! Thanks to the students, for giving back to nature, to Greg Keilback of the Natural Land Institute, to Rockford Christian science teacher Julie Rohl and especially to Rockford developer Herb McKiski, who had the idea to bring nature into his subdivision.
