Visitors are surprised to recognize the many man-made items in the 'Flood Rubble Exhibit.' Sand, rocks and logs should be the only things found in rubble, but the exhibit contains "found" items typical of the river today -- including several types of plastic and glass. In an effort to educate the public about the remedies to this environmental hazard, the Nature Center includes a recycling box among the rubble to discourage litter and demonstrate items created from recycled materials -- including polar fleece, aluminum cans, plastic containers and paper.
