Dear Pierce County,
The PLU students in ENVT 350 course are enjoying a picnic after an exciting afternoon of collecting samples at Mayfair Playfield! The plants, stream organisms, and birds also deserve to have an environment where they can enjoy a picnic too. To address this, a committee should be created and funded to remove the asphalt allowing the stream to meander and to restore the substrate with rocks and wood. This would help create a healthy environment for all to enjoy!
Best,
Emma Mickelson
