Coconut Grass and Top Soil...Riverbank Restoration Project Completed
On Saturday, September 17th, Pete Sofman, Meg Scarpetta and Mary Ellen Burns, all of whom serve on the board of the Friends of Mianus River Park, spent Saturday morning planting native plants. The plants were all purchased with donations from the park users who have become members of the Friends of Mianus River Park.  |

Back in June on National Trails Day, The Friends undertook a riverbank restoration project, at the intersection of the River Road Trail and the upstream end of the Meander Trail. At this time, we (1) spread top-soil on the eroded hillside leading to the river, (2) put down coconut grass and (3) put up a deer fence. The top soil came from the City of Stamford and the fencing and coconut grass were purchased with donations to The Friends of Mianus River Park from park users. (
