RAIN GARDEN: FISCAL YEAR 22 MAJOR PROJECT
For the past several years the Rogers County Conservation District has planned and implemented a major project. For fiscal year 22 ,a rain garden with interpretive signage and technology was built on the Reserve to demonstrate water quality, soil health, wildlife habitat, and species diversity to the public. The District worked with the students at the Northeast Technology Center to complete this project. This project was built in response to a working agreement between the District and the City of Claremore to provide education and outreach to the citizens of Rogers County to promote water quality.
If you have not been out to the Reserve in a while, come see the improvements. We have resurfaced both Wetland Boardwalks, and several Footbridges.
NEW PAVED TRAILS AT THE RESERVE
The Rogers County Conservation District would like to thank The Rogers County Commissioners Education Trust for their financial support for resurfacing over 2 miles of trails at the Rogers State University Conservation Reserve. We would also like to thank Denny Hardin and the crew of D&S Paving for laying the asphalt on the trails.
