BSE Stroubles Creek Restoration Project

NOTICES

Due to wet soils and cold temperatures, the stream restoration project has shut down for the winter. We will start up again in the spring. Thanks for all your help! We could not have done this without all our awesome volunteers!

We will be regrading the streambanks along Stroubles Creek and planting them with native vegetation.
Volunteers are needed to help reseed the streambanks and to install erosion control fabric and fiber logs.
Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes or boots that can get muddy.
A hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and old clothes are recommended.
We will have drinking water, gloves, and tools available.
