The people of Beachtown recently completed a few big construction projects to save their town from flood damage. But they are also worried about a special area nearby called Wildwood Nature Preserve. Many different plants and animals live in Wildwood. The people of Beachtown have decided to do something to protect the plants and animals at Wildwood. There is a budget of $1,000,000 for this project. The finished design must also protect the natural beauty of Wildwood. They have limits on what can be done to protect Wildwood.
