We are so pleased that the design for the nature play space at the Short Street Triangle was finalized in early June 2022. The central feature for younger children will be the playhouse and signage where kids can “seek and find” plants in the wet meadows (placed in the lowest section of the basin) that support wildlife and infiltrate stormwater into the ground. All ages will have an opportunity to walk the circular path that will take people through the wet meadow plantings and around the nature play areas.
UER Report: Ten Years of Growth and Impact
During its first decade, UER focused on defining EFS, creating metrics to measure ecosystem health on urban lands, establishing demonstration sites, and educating people about the importance of EFS development and long-term maintenance. UER sought to integrate these concepts into discussions among urban planners, environmental advocates, land trusts, and real estate developers.
