Juvenile Drug Court Participants Build Garden at Zoo
Excerpt: Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot is getting a native addition, thanks to the efforts of some local youth and the Upper Dakota Resource Conservation and Development Council.
No, it's not a bison or prairie falcon, but big bluestem and sideoats grama and other native plants that the state's earliest settlers encountered.
The serendipitous event began in March when Valerie Potter, coordinator of the Northwest District's Juvenile Drug Court, contacted Becky Dewitz, education coordinator for the zoo, about teaming up for a summertime project.
