Meadow Marsh
The focus of the Meadow Marsh is a large man-made wetland on axis with and terminating the Garden Walk. The Marsh is designed as a healthy habitat serving as an educational, recreational, and ecological feature in the landscape. A circular path around the Marsh's edge will connect to other excursion trails in the park. A boardwalk weaving along the wetland will invite visitors into the environment providing a truly immersive experience. Interpretive programs and facilities will also provide opportunities to view and learn about wetland habitats.
Major environmental improvements include an expansion of the riparian buffer along the banks of the Floyds Fork and tributaries, and stream restoration of the tributary running along the base of the escarpment. The implementation of re-created wetlands will serve as a biofiltration project, removing sediments and pollutants carried by the stormwater runoff from the developed areas outside of The Fork, thus contributing to sustainable agriculture.
