What's going on at the dog park you ask?

All of this is as of 10/10/09! People wanted more open space in the large dog area
....there you go!
The mounds you see in some of the pictures will be flattened and this entire area will be re-shaped a bit. The entire area will also have the trail replaced and be re-seeded.

Keep watching!

Thank you Dave Bendlin

Dave Bendlin, Environmental Science and Biology Teacher for the Milton School District, has been a key to the success of many conservation projects around the county. Many of those projects are right her in the Milton area. Along with the guidance he has provided the Crossridge & Dog Park Committee, he also has established a prairie in the Tower Hill subdivision as well as the Outdoor Learning Lab Prairie behind the Milton High School.

Shown here is Mr. Bendlin showing volunteers what they should be looking for as well as what to avoid. Seeds collected from this pick will be used in a new prairie Mr. Bendlin is establishing as well as our new project, the Highway 59 entrance to the city on the west side of Milton.

Thank you Dave Bendlin for the 8+ years of sharing your knowledge and time with our group.
