Aubrey Shepherd's focal point for display of Labrador retrievers, natural-resource conservation, English language word use, outdoor sports, recreational sports and athletics


Aubrey's Notebook:
A wooded wetland slough paralleled the Town Branch of the West Fork of the White River on the east between Sixth and 11th streets to the west of South Hill Avenue. Ideally, it would have been left in its natural state with its hydric soil and typical wetland vegetation intact to continue to serve as a natural sponge to absorb and cleanse water overflowing from the Town Branch and running off the soon-to-be developed site of the now-removed Anderson Trailer Park. This natural basin retained stormwater runoff to protect property downstream and provided outstanding habitat for birds and many species of life. It has now (March 2007) been filled and raised several feet for construction. -—January 2004
