Come help us repair our local stream banks by planting live stakes. We will provide the tools and materials needed as well as education on stream bank repair. Live stakes are cuts from native trees and shrubs that are able to grow when planted into stream banks to stabilize and improve the health of riparian habitats. With your help we can make our local streams healthy and resilient!
For more information on live staking, see https://mountaintrue.org/mountaintrue-faq-live-staking/
What to bring: Expect to be outside all day so please dress in clothes that you don’t mind getting wet and dirty and bring what you need to stay warm. Participants should bring their own water and snacks.
This event requires a lot of bending, moving on steep stream banks and possibly in water up to your ankles.
Please nobody under the age of 18 for safety reasons.
Location: Park and carpool from Alexander River Park: 2590 Old Marshall Hwy, Alexander, NC 28701. We will be working at Walnut Island Park: 3042 Old Marshall Hwy, Alexander, NC 28701
