Installation

 

 

Wildlife biologist, Tom Biebighauser trains volunteers in the process of restoring wetlands as the recreation site wetland is being installed.

 

 

 

 

 

The construction of the wetlands on the campus of UNC Greensboro is complete!  More than 100 volunteers participated in the installation of wetlands in Peabody Park.

Students and faculty stretch the liner to be installed under the soil at the Peabody Park recreation wetland site.

 

 

 

 

 

The liner is protected above and below with a thick layer of landscape fabric and then staked into place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The finished site is seeded with annual wheat grass and covered in straw to prevent erosion while the wetlands matures.
