Join us on Saturday November 20th at 1pm for a volunteer workday to control nonnative invasive plants and restore native habitat along the Murphy River Walk. No prior experience is necessary; we will provide tools and training. Let’s continue to improve the wildlife habitat and natural beauty at the Murphy River Walk!
Livestaking is the process of planting live cuttings of dormant trees in the riparian buffer zone along the stream bank which helps filter stormwater runoff, protect vital aquatic habitat, and prevent soil erosion and sediment pollution. As these planted stakes grow into trees, they stabilize the sides of the rivers and creeks where we plant them and reduce the overall amount of sediment and toxins getting into the river. Come plant with us at one of our livestaking work days from December through March!
