Plaster Creek Amplified
Crawl inside the Nature Amplifier and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Plaster Creek Watershed. Directed towards the water below, the amplifier captures the rustling of leaves and rapids of the creek.
Ken-O-Sha's Big Rock
Michigan was once covered in a massive sheet of ice, up to 2-miles thick! As artic glaciers slowly flowed south and retreated north, they picked up chunks of rocks and transported them over long distances. When they dropped these rocks, they are often far from their origin—the outcrop or bedrock from which they were plucked. These rocks are known as glacial erratics. They can be rocks of any size, some as small as a tiny pebble, and others as big as a small house!
Prairie In Progress
Native plants support ecological diversity in the landscape by providing food, shelter, and habitat for pollinators, and other wildlife that depend on native plants for their survival. Restoring native ecosystems such as prairies creates a resilient landscape that absorbs stormwater and filters pollutants and sediments while improving the ecological health of Plaster Creek.
Stormwater that filters through the soil and into the groundwater is cooler and cleaner when it reaches the creek, compared to the warm, polluted storm surges that come from the storm sewers.
