Valentine’s Day was a great day for WaterWays staff and volunteers to “Love Your Creek” by conducting a streambank repair workshop on Read’s Creek tributary in the Mountain Creek watershed! Over 40 volunteer hours were put in on 2/14 to install 30 live stakes and 100 bare root saplings of native riparian or creek-loving plant species! In addition to the plantings, 2 biodegradable coir logs were installed in the toe of the bank with coir matting installed above it for erosion reduction and extra bank stabilizaiton. We couldn’t have done it without the help of our volunteers!
