Installing Irrigation Line and Landscaping Trees above Seasonal Wetlands Matt
Manganaro |
 |
My project at Tule Ponds consisted of clearing an area of dead brush to reduce the risk of fire and also to improve the visual quality of the area. Also we pulled up an old failed irrigation system and replaced it with a new system. Finally we made tree retaining boxes to put around three sycamore trees which were being damaged due to erosion. We also re staked trees to encourage the trees to grow straight.
