History

Overview

To better understand the history of our wetlands park, we have divided its history into several categories. Four prehistoric categories cover the period before human inhabitation, the Paleoindian Period, the Archaic Period, and the Woodland Period. The Gravel Pit Years covers the period from 1900 A.D. through 1990 A.D. Finally, the Wetland Phase covers the period from 1990 A.D. to the present.

The Wetland Phase is further divided into the Plant Survey of 1997, the introduction of Additional Wetland Species, and the Watershed alterations of 2000 A.D. Recent events are summarized on a yearly basis beginning with 2002 A.D.
