CALAMUS SWAMP
The restoration work at Calamus Swamp is well underway. The team we have put together from Coldwater Consulting LLC (as Project Manager), and MAD Scientist Associates, LLC (environmental subcontractor/restoration work) have been hard at work with ongoing oversight, developing management plans, and treating invasive cattails and reed canary grass. We’re seeing some encouraging return of Spatterdock (yellow pond lily) and other native species, as you can see in the photos. Treatment is nearly done for this season, and as we head into the next growing season we’ll be able to determine next steps. Read More.
