The December 2010 restoration project on the Discovery Trail included many students,
teachers and local volunteers. The weather and mud were a challenge, but the
project may be termed a success--over 1,000 new plants will help stabilize the
river bank, shade the water and make the trail pleasant for visitors and
wildlife.
