We thank the Lion Hearts Club for helping us plant trees

Volunteers fan out throughout the lower stream channel

The view from up above the lower stream channel

The lower stream channel always has a flow

Digging was still difficult in the lower stream channel.

Volunteers planted up to the area that is currently undergoing erosion repair

The erosion area that developed over the winter has been regraded

Repairs continue at the site

Gabion baskets will be utilized to prevent future erosion

Matt and Tom in the upper stream channel

The upper stream channel is intermittent. It flows only after a rain event.

Planting in the erosion control measures of the upper stream channel was extremely difficult.

Special thanks go out to the Tetra Tech crew.

Their group of 16 volunteers planted more trees than any other crew

Tetra Tech worked both the upper and lower stream channel

Vice-President Nick plants in the upper stream channel

Some people made it a family event

Volunteers of all ages participated.

It was hard work, but everyone had a good time

John and Dave plant a tree in appreciation of our project grant administrator

John Hamm devoted countless hours, free of charge, to the project.

This project would not have been possible without the generous donation of his time and knowledge.

This Serviceberry will be a lasting reminder of his role in this project.
