  • 7:43 is that Coach Clarke?

  • @DKLAX15 All I can tell you is that the individual in question is one of the many volunteers, to whom we are eternally grateful, who gave of their personal time to help us install hundreds of native plants and trees in the wetland at E.G. Fisher Public Library in Athens.

  • All in all, a good video. But the initial wetland shown had no adjacent vegetation. Also, the initial rain garden was "raised" which means no water will get in it. Should have made it depressed.

  • @mishumaster Thank you for your feedback. The video was shot when adjacent vegetation was being established in the wetland. You should see it now, acres and acres of native wildflowers and grasses. The rain garden you reference is in a fully pervious parking lot. No water flows across the surface of the lot, and the plants in the rain garden actually receive water sub-surface. We featured the rain garden as an example of a "green" BMP that can be used in a residential setting.
