Native plant installation on a creek in the headwaters of Tryon Creek. Restoration of the creek bed is in the works and we want to stabilize the slopes above the creek by planting natives. One section of the creek is broad and boggy with a large colonizations of invasive wapato and yellow flag iris. We'll need to remove the iris and replant with rushes.
Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. TCWC provides tools, gloves, and snacks. There will be a delicious homemade lunch (soup, quiche, etc.) served at 12:30 so please bring your appetite! RSVP be emailing volunteer@tryoncreek.org

Mission Statement
The Tryon Creek Watershed Council restores, protects and enhances the ecological health and function of our unique urban watershed.
Description
The majority of TCWC projects involve restoration of riparian native vegetation on streambanks. We focus these projects on private properties along key wildlife corridors, neighboring green-spaces, and adjacent to existing restoration sites. We also fix fish passage barriers by contracting replacement with a bridge (such as the case with the Stone Bridge Project on Nettle Creek) or working as an advocate (in the case of Boones Ferry Culvert and the Highway 43 Culvert projects). As a watershed council, another key role that we fill is coordination of partnerships, watershed planning, and monitoring.
