Charlie and I found ourselves in the Boise area for family baby showers. So we had time to explore some new areas around Meridian and spotted some cattails.
Found the new Ada County facilities that were built using new Mini-Wetlands concepts to manage storm water rather than thru culverts and storm drainages.

Simple construction planning incorporated wetlands concepts. They included the hardy Broadleaf Cattails.

After a few years, no erosion. Just small little wetlands scattered around that enhance the neighborhood environment. Full of chirping birds and certainly more fun for Charlie too.

Check out the small areas when you spot one. Lots happening in this small spots.
Cheers,

I appreciate the little wetlands/drainage on the east side of 12th NE just north of NE 170th - don't know why or when it was installed but would be thrilled to see more of them!
