The adjacent areas are graded with <br />gradual slopes and are scheduled for wetland and prairie .seeding <br />this fall. <br />Brian Malzer has proposed a prairie seedling planting service <br />project at the. Community Park for his Eagle Scout project. He <br />proposes to organize and manage his fellow scouts and other <br />interested members of the community in a prairie planting of <br />about 2,000 seedlings this fall (approximately Oct. 1). A <br />seedling planting has been considered very desirable because it <br />will significantly accelerate the prairie establishment. Jyneen <br />Thatcher is willing to assist in the management of this project. <br />The cost of the seedlings is anticipated to be about $2,000. <br />
