Dredging is a standard practice for stormwater projects, scooping out the mud, weeds and sediment from the bottom of the space to help with water flow. However, it’s not just mud or sediment at the bottom of ponds in our area, there are likely herptiles and other living water creatures who need delicate care in the process. City of Madison Engineering Division Public Information Officer Hannah Mohelnitzky hosts City of Madison Engineering Division Landscape Architect Sarah Lerner to learn a new approach that the City of Madison Engineering Division is trying out to keep the frogs, snakes, salamanders and others safe during the Wexford Pond Project.
