Trees are So Important

Trees benefit creeks in so many ways. Their shade helps keep the water cool. Their roots filter sediment, nutrients, pesticides, and other ecological hazards from surface run-off before it enters the stream. They slow run-off during heavy rains which helps stabilize banks and prevent excessive erosion. They serve as habitat and wildlife corridors in primarily agricultural areas.

Thank you to all our Spring Creek helpers who gave of their time Saturday, March 31, to plant trees along Spring Creek. It was a hot day but everyone pitched in digging, planting, tagging, and watering 50 black walnut and 50 pines. With everyone's help, the Spring Creek Coalition has now planted 2,350 trees throughout the years in the Spring Creek watershed.
