Conservation project day coming to Ritts Park
The land around the stream running through Ritts Park had been eroding prior to 2021, washing pollutants and sediment downstream into the population hub of Butler.
In April of that year, several conservation organizations came together, alongside volunteers, to stabilize the streams by seeding native plant species and digging out invasive species.
According to Jennifer Senchak, certified arborist with Community Tree Resources, the park needs some maintenance work this spring, and those organizations are joining forces to again stabilize the park and its species.
