Exciting habitat improvements are happening in the eastern portion of Sunset Woods Park where the Firehouse Activity Center once stood. The woodland area, which surrounds the bridge that connects the park to the east side of town, will be part of an ecological restoration project by Park District contractor, Davey Resource Group. Work involves the removal of woody and herbaceous invasive species, followed by planting and seeding of native plant species. In addition to the woodland restoration, an upland meadow will be created by the installation of native seeds. Dead standing trees, away from walking paths, will remain in the woodland as they provide excellent habitat for a variety of bird species. Work will begin in January 2022 and end in December 2022.
