West Fork River Restoration & Little Coyote Pond Project Update

Are you in town and want to enjoy the nice weather this week?

Join us this Thursday (10/19) from 2:30 pm-4:30 pm as we prepare for wetlands restoration work, harvesting willows for the West Fork River Restoration & Little Coyote Pond Project.

When: This Thursday (10/19) from 2:30 pm-4:30 pm

Where: Near the Chapel parking lot and golf course

What: Clipping willow stalks and putting them in bundles to be planted along the restored West Fork stream bank

What to Bring: Pruners, clippers, or loppers, and gloves if you have them! We will provide a few extra pair, too.

Project Update: The West Fork River Restoration & Little Coyote Pond Project is moving along successfully. The water levels have been lowered and preparation for dredging, material hauling, and stream bank construction is underway!
