The monarch butterfly was on World Peace Wetland Prairie last weekend.
If residents of the neighborhoods east, west and south of Red Oak Park decide to support rain gardens in their yards, they would see a lot of these in summer 2008.

The Fayetteville City Council on Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2007, unanimously tabled the proposed plan to remove trees and widen the flow area through Red Oak Park in order to give the city staff time to gather information on alternatives that could make the plan more palatable to the Bridgeport neighborhood in NW Fayetteville.

Among the suggestions Tuesday night was the possibility of working to educate neighbors on the value of rain gardens to reduce flow to the park, thus making a less destructive restoration plan feasible.
