Mound Sustainable Landscape Restoration

ES Project 805501

Overview

The Mound Lift Station 38 (L38) project site is located at 6270 Westedge Boulevard.

As part of its mission to improve water quality and ensure a sustainable water supply for the region, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is working to plant landscapes that need less water, reduce runoff, and provide habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies. For more information, see the Program Page.

Open House

An open house was held September 24, 2025 at the Mound L38 site. Project team members discussed our commitment to maintaining the sustainable landscape and how the site is expected to look in the future.

Site Plan

The Met Council is committed to maintaining its sustainable landscapes and has hired skilled contractors to design and manage the site in your neighborhood. See below for a map of the plans.
Map showing the sustainable landscape plan for the Mound site. The buildings are surrounded by bee lawn, with a narrow strip of this extending north and another on the south side of Westedge Boulevard. There is dry mesic/oak savanna prairie around the pond on the west side of the property. The remainder of the planted area is woodland edge mix.
