Seattle Plant Ecologist Michael Yadrick Talks Discovery Park and Restoration of the Reflecting Ponds.
A very big honor to chat with Seattle Plant Ecologist, Michael Yadrick, about Discovery Park and the Reflecting Ponds.
Walking past the Reflecting ponds each weekend one can easily see a project is under way.
There is a very large tubing diverting the stream flowing into the pond around it and then rejoining the water that continues to the stream below.
The sign tells us they are in the process of draining the pond in order to remove the Iris and restore the native plants.
In this podcast Michael tells us the history of this man made pond and the difficulty of maintaining this area in accordance with the city and the wishes of the Native Americans that inhabit the area.
Not only do we discuss the frogs and the ducks but Michael Yadrick tells us the history of the park and the plan and philosophy for the futre.
Thank you Michael, for taking time to chat with us today.
