Bob Grese, SNRE professor and the director of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum, discussed upcoming work at the Botanical Gardens in an Ann Arbor News article.  Two manmade ponds at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens that hold stormwater runoff from a 1,200-acre area of land will be dredged to remove sediment that has accumulated.  The project will increase stormwater storage capacity and allow one of the ponds to hold less sediment.
