Faculty, students join forces to clean up coulee By Jamie Hutchinson The Dakota Student

Students, faculty and staff joined community members and city workers Saturday morning to clean up the part of the Eng- lish Coulee that runs through campus. “We’re going to be working on trying to get the water quality improved in several ways,” said Nick Ralston, project leader and research scientist. The coulee has been a prob- lem for many community members who wish to improve its aesthetic and aromatic qualities. Limited water flow and human pollution from have con- tributed to the coulee’s current state. After many discussions over the years, action is being taken. Ralston said the project “is all about getting together groups of people that actually understand what can be done and what we should do to improve the health and quality of the coulee.” Part of improving the health meant cutting back some of the cattails that surround the bank.
