Come out and lend a hand for the final portion of the Wolf Creek Aquatic Organism Passage Project. A double corrugated metal pipe crossing was replaced with a channel-spanning bridge to enhance passage of native Brook Trout through the creek. Volunteers are needed to help install live stakes in key areas to promote bank stability and increase stream bank cover. We will be planting 800 - 1,000 live stakes that day. The project site is roughly 1 hour from Greeneville, TN and Asheville, NC, and 1 hour 20 minutes from Johnson City, TN.
We will meet on site (35.86243N, -82.92742W) at 10 am and we should be done by 3 pm.
Tools to install the stakes will be provided. Participants need to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and bring their own water. Waders are not required but might be useful to bring along. Lunch will be provided.
