Improving Habitats for Wildlife

This Project will design the restoration of fish and other aquatic habitats by completing baseline, chemical, geotechnical, hydrologic, and ecological evaluations on a portion of Duck Creek within the Maumee River watershed. We are currently seeking feedback on the condition and public usage of Collins Park, the golf course, and Duck Creek. Click the button below to take the survey.

Collins Park Public Survey

Decrease Sedimentation Increase Wildlife

Duck Creek runs through the middle of Collins Park and has been significantly altered through subsurface culverts, resulting in degraded fish and wildlife habitat. Through this feasibility project, this site has significant potential to provide improved habitat for a variety of native species.
