Playground Planned for Sylvan Heights

Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park and Eco-Center will include a playground funded by Lowe's Home Improvement, Lance Martin reports for the Roanoke Rapids "Daily Herald". (Link)

"[T]he center is home to the first North American breeding of the critically endangered Madagascar Teal. There are believed to be only 200 of the rare birds still in the wild. It's also home to the white-winged wood duck, which is qualified as critically endangered. The bird is native to Sumatra, Thailand and Indonesia."
