Creation of Water Retention Basin - week of June 22, 2012
A complex series of underground drainage has been installed throughout the sanctuary land and work on this major part of the site work continued this past week.
The land is carefully sculpted to safely move water away from low lying areas and into a large water retention basin which is being created specifically for this purpose. The basin will allow rainwater to perculate gradually back into the watertable, allowing natural purification, preventing erosion and keeping the ponds and wetlands surrounding the property healthy and balanced.
Boulders? Yeah, we've got 'um! Some even bigger than my car! Thank goodness those big machines are here to move them out of our way! We plan to repurpose some of them in our landscaping scheme.
