Constructed Wetlands
Project (18)


By September 2001, the caterpillars had gone through all 8 acres of wetlands. The cattails kept putting up new growth, which didn't have a chance until the caterpillars were gone for the season. Regrowth occurred from early September until frost. The green cattails amid the stubble is some of that new growth.
