Document Description
The project will entail four work activities to be performed at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park by volunteers as part of the annual state-wide Earth Day celebration. The work activities will include: 1) Planting approximately 600 plugs of native grasses along the west side of the duck pond to restore lost vegetation; 2) Installing an interpretive panel kiosk at the southwest side of the duck pond - requiring two holes 8 inches in diameter by 24 inches deep for the panel parts - to educate the public about the pond environment; 3) Installing two "duck boxes" to provide shelter for wild wood ducks visiting the pond. The boxes will be located near the high water line of the pond and will require one hole 8 inches in diameter by 36 inches deep per each duck box; and 4) Planting two native oak trees (Quercus lobata), 15 gallon size, on the park grounds for additional shade. The trees will be located at the same locations of two former trees which fell down in a previous storm. Planting the trees will require one hole each, approximately 36 inches in diameter by 24 inches deep.
