Animation of Project Installation

An animation sequence of the construction steps involved with a proposed shoreline restoration project in the Garden's North Lake can be viewed below. This animation sequence closely resembles the installation of Bioengineering Shoreline Treatment 2, which involves the placement of an underwater stone berm in the lake and then backfilling with clay soil to create a wide shallow water planting "shelf" along the shoreline for aquatic and emergent plants.
