Museum of Northern Arizona Meadow Riparian Habitat Enhancement Project

The Museum of Northern Arizona has proposed a project to restore the riparian spring habitat closely surrounding Coyote Springs and to improve the accessibility for the residents of The Peaks. The Peaks is a senior community that houses senior citizens, some with disabilities. That being said, any proposed ramps and sidewalks must follow the 2010 ADA Guidelines, provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Museum hopes to promote plant diversity and preserve the cultural heritage sites while making the area more accessible for the senior community. Further technical considerations that will take place will include removing old concrete infrastructure and piping, increase the meandering channel and wet meadow habitat, and providing an environmentally appropriate trail to conduct on appropriate wetland vegetation land.
