CONSTRUCTED WETLAND RETENTION BASIN<br />

The plantings for the park project support native species that are adapted to wet and dry habitats. Vegetation would<br />

include four layers: canopy, shrub, herbaceous, and emergent that form a sustainable ecosystem that can also function<br />

as local habitat. Several re<strong>com</strong>mended tree and shrub types, such as winterberry and black gum, turn red in the fall<br />

to add seasonal variety to the experience of the park. Other selected plantings would be evergreen, so that the park<br />

would be further <strong>com</strong>pelling in winter.<br />
