On Monday afternoons weather permitting this winter and spring, MountainTrue will host volunteer workdays to control nonnative invasive plants and restore native habitat along the Riverwalk in Murphy, NC. Let’s work together to continue to improve the wildlife habitat and natural beauty at the Murphy Riverwalk!

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!
