Join NepRWA and GBTU volunteers in planting “live tree stakes” to reduce future erosion and flooding around Traphole Brook in Norwood on Saturday, March 25 2 from 10 am - 1 pm (Rain date April 1, 10 am - 1pm).



Tree staking is a relatively easy and inexpensive method of stabilizing stream banks and preventing future erosion that involves installing “live tree stakes.” Live tree stakes are branches of wetland trees cut from an adult tree.

 

When live tree stakes are placed into the bank of a stream or river, they grow and become new trees. This project helps stabilize the bank and limits future erosion, as these trees will grow roots before blooming into new trees.

 

The Mill Pond Dam on Traphole Brook was removed in February 2022, and the live tree staking event is an important part of the restoration effort.
