CVTU Lewis Creek Work Day Saturday 5/20
Join us on Saturday May 20th at 9:00 AM at the Hinsdale property on Lewis Creek in Ferrisburgh. We are taking inventory of the trees previously planted, we are seeing over an 80% survival rate, which is great! After inventorying the trees we will be staking and placing plastic tubes over the saplings to help protect them from rodents and act as a greenhouse. This is a great project to help connect two prime spawning habitats for Steelhead in Lewis Creek. A lot of progress was made on the May 7th work day if we can get enough volunteers this weekend we will be close to finishing the work on this project for the next few years.
Parking for this event is on the east side of RT 7 in North Ferrisburgh and the driveway is between 6582 Rt 7 and Ninth State Cannabis/Auto Creek, look for an old barn set back from the road. We are going to try to put out a sign. If you have them please bring water, bug spray, work gloves, hand pruners, and a hammer or 2lb sledge hammer if you have one. The ticks are out so please dress appropriately.
If the weather looks bad we will look to reschedule this event.
