Goshen Tree Tenders live-stake planting

Combined pic

The Goshen Tree Tenders cut and planted live stakes (shrub branches) along the creek at West Goshen Township's Barker Park to become new rooted stems.  Live stakes help stabilize streams, lessen erosion, moderate temperatures and improve water quality/flow. The native shrubs (alder, dogwood, choke and elderberry, hardhack and willow) also provide food and habitat for aquatic and terrestrial life.
