Filtrexx® EnviroSoxx® installation at Carity Prairie

On Thursday, December 3rd, members of Marek Landscaping will be installing Filtrexx® EnviroSoxx® at Carity Prairie in Franklin. The installation is part of a larger initiative to restore native habitat at the site, which is one of Franklin’s most important natural areas. The 23-acre site is a tributary of the Root River and includes a rare combination of wet prairie, sedge meadow and oak savanna. The EnviroSoxx® will capture nitrogen, phosphorous and other pollutants that are currently entering Legend Creek as stormwater runoff from nearby parking lots, lawns and agriculture fields. The land is managed by the Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy (MALC), and the project is funded by Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, Inc. (Sweet Water).
