The City is restoring the vegetation along Wooddale path with native plants. View a map of the project area here.

Native landscapes provide many benefits including;

  • Stabilizing shorelines
  • Supporting cleaner air and water
  • Providing wildlife habitat, including pollinator habitat
  • Managing invasive plants, including Buckthorn
  • Increasing resilience in a changing climate

  • Tree and shrub planting canceled

    We've canceled the 2024 tree and shrub planting portion of the project due to the street reconstruction planned along Wooddale Avenue to occur this year. It's difficult to determine how much of the right-of-way will be impacted by the roadway work and it doesn't make sense to plant trees that could be damaged or would need to be moved. We could consider tree and shrub planting again once the road reconstruction work is complete.

    Plug planting along the path, not adjacent to roadway work, is planned for this spring.

    Buckthorn management is a multi-year commitment.

    After a big removal effort this past winter, multiple areas along the shoreline have new buckthorn plants resprouting and crews have been on site to target these resprouts with herbicide.
