Mr. Squires explaining that we are
planting Redosier Dogwood, a copper
tolerant native species of woody
shrub, with the hope that it will
increase avian and insect diversity
at the Lake Linden Superfund Site.
The futuristic ecological goal is
that these birds will bring in seeds
of other native species that would
grow in the slowly changing soil of
the superfund site. |
