Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED - pronounced sep-ted) CPTED is a crime control philosophy that attempts to apply physical design, citizen participation and law enforcement strategies in a comprehensive way to protect facilities or neighborhoods. The goal of CPTED is to reduce the opportunity for crime to occur. It is a series of design principles that, when properly employed, serve to eliminate criminal behavior and improve the quality of life through the reduction of fear of crime. This reduction in criminal opportunities is achieved by employing physical design features and space management strategies that discourage criminal activity, while at the same time encouraging the legitimate use of the location. | ||

American Wetlands Month is here! The month of May is set aside every year to celebrate some of our most valued national treasures – wetland ecosystems. Rochester’s wetlands provide us many important services: they help recharge our drinking water supplies, they provide wildlife habitat, and they remove nutrients and other pollutants from contaminated water. Wetlands need our help. If you would like to volunteer time to help remove invasive species from a Rochester wetland, contact Barb Huberty of the Rochester Public Works Department (529-4907) to find out how you can help. If you would like to learn more about wetlands, join the Audubon Wetland Watch on Saturday, May 19 from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Eastside Wildlife Management Area. Audubon volunteers will be present on the viewing platform to help people learn about wetlands and the wildlife that inhabit them. Binoculars and telescopes will be available for those who need them. Eastside Wildlife Management Area is located on Olmsted County Road 9, about 4 miles east of downtown Rochester, just before the railroad crossing. Start: 9:30 am
