Planting Project
The 2021 Planting project was started on Friday August 27th. We removed invasive species and prepared the site for our planting in October. This years planting is at the intersection of East Lake Rd and East Springbrook Road. We will be planting native trees and shrubs to stabilize the stream bank and absorb nutrients.
