2024 - Native Planting Maintenance

In 2024, The CLEAN Team has been visiting all six current native planting sites and maintainng the plantings.  Weeding, re-staking and maintaining the protective cages has been the focus to ensure these plants continue to thrive.


The Wyoming County Soil and Water Conservation District (WCSWCD) staff are working with landowner(s) to secure appropriate permissions for potential planting sites for 2025. 



BIOREACTOR PROJECT

WCSWCD has delayed this project for the fall and is targeting a 2025 bioreactor project date at either the Fairview location or another site in the watershed.  CLEAN will be supporting the Bioreactor Project with a $7,500 donation and a matching $7,500 donation from SLA.    Click the picture on Frank's picture for more information.

2023 - 500 Native Plants Distributed

500 native plants were distributed to SLA members for planting in lake homeowners' personal properties.  Each Tract Director was given a number of plants to share with their tracts.

CLEAN'S goal is to educate our members about the benefits of using native plants and encourage our members to incorporate more of these native plants into their landscape designs.

LIST OF NATIVES PROVIDED:

Milkweed

Blue Flag Iris

Asters
