Cut willow branches off of trees that are growing in the water. Harvesting must be done when the willows are dormant (without leaves). Cutting willow stakes does not kill the tree.
No experience required. It's simple to do and we will do a quick training before we begin.
Why:
These willow branches/stakes will be planted in the ground at an
eroding streambank. The willow branches will quickly take root in a
simple, effective, and sustainable solution to reduce stream bank
erosion. In addition, they increase habitat and provide food sources to
our native wildlife.
Required: Rubber knee boots or waders. We will need to enter the water.
Tools: If you have loppers and work gloves, please bring them. If not, we have tools to share.
