Frog Bottom Preserve Contacts

 Pond Picture
This site lists experts that helped with planned actions on the Frog Bottom Preserve (FB).

The sites objective is to share information and practices effective in "re-wilding" - returning land to a condition more hospitable to native plants, insects, aquatic animals and birds. There is extensive documentation at an academic level, and often has many helpful details. What was missing for me was case histories where these concepts were actually applied. This site shares information used to make management decisions, and how those decisions were actually conducted.
