After all we’ve shown you today, what can possib After all we’ve shown you today, what can possibly be left? Beginning this fall, construction crews will begin reconstruction on the main entrance of Fishtown. The project will address the failing retaining wall, drainage and water flow, updating utilities, improving public access to the site, and then—in the spring—reintroducing native species to the landscape. Also on the roster is work on the Ice House, Dam Candy and the Welcome Center, which were all also damaged by the high water. Plans are being finalized. To bring this work to a close, we have at least one more season of projects to go. When they’re done—the work of the Campaign for Fishtown will officially be completed. Today is The FINAL LIFT—for the fundraising component of the Campaign for Fishtown. We are taking you through the wild ride of high water and shanty rescues today as we approach the end of the Campaign for Fishtown. Join us by making a gift, and be a part of the incredible work that has been made possible through our donors.
