Field Studies Underway

The environmental experts have begun field studies in the recent weeks to collect information about what species of plants and animals live and visit the Onion Creek corridor.    These field visits have currently been limited to ISU and Fieldstone development property.   Letters to homeowners are currently be sent out to other property owners in the area requesting permission to visit their land to complete the biological inventory process and ensure that nothing is overlooked.
