Volunteers have helped document restoration work in Ann Arbor's natural areas over the past several years with our Photo Monitoring program.
See full galleries of our photo points in our Photo Monitoring Web Map, or see below for a few example points!
Barton Nature Area - On the left, prior to restoration work, the site was becoming shrubby and overgrown. On the right, the prairie's coming back!
Cedar Bend through the ages. We were very lucky to receive a photo of how this looked once upon a time- it helps us see how far we've come!
Historically, with a herbaceous understory
In 1997, with many invasive shrubs
In 2006, during restoration
Gallup Park Youth Pond- on the left in 2004, the area adjacent to the pond is thick with invasive purple loosestrife. On the right in 2005, it's been removed!
