Live Staking Event – Saturday, March 14 in Bynum!

Help stabilize stream banks by planting “live stakes”. These are dormant tree cuttings that grow into new trees and prevent soil erosion.

What is Live Staking?
It’s a simple, low-cost way to restore plant life along stream banks. Cuttings taken during dormancy are planted directly into the soil, where they take root and grow, strengthening the banks naturally.

Participation Limit: 15 people

This is a Meadowsweet live stake from 30mileriver.org. You can see it is just a branch sticking out of the ground right now, but in a year, it will be established and helping to prevent erosion!
