Key Natural Features of Seavy Meadows:

• Seasonal wetland (saturated soils with standing water in winter, dry in summer)
• Native prairie – Tufted hairgrass dominates the area. Broad shallow depressions (vernal pools) support many short-lived native annuals. Wetter areas have frequent patches of sedges and rushes.
• Hydric soils – "Dayton" soil type is very fine textured, has strong shrink/swell with water content, has low permeability to water, causes low-oxygen in the rooting zone, and is poorly suited to building and most kinds of agriculture.
• Wildlife habitat within the City limits
