Hi guys,
Many members of this forum has expressed displeasure in the lack of stream work by some of the local TU chapters. Additionally, a lot of these same folks have said they will volunteer and provide manual labor for these improvements. I am glad to say that we have quite a few projects forth coming in the next two years. The riparian buffer improvement in October, a redressing and maintenance of the failing deflectors on the upper creek system, bank modification to the confluence of Cacoosing and a couple of larger projects on the Tully above Blue March are all in the works for the next two years. This does not include other local area stream projects.
I am looking for some volunteers to help us out with riparian buffer improvements on the lower Tully. I would like for volunteers to PM or email me for this project as well as express any interest in future projects. That way I can keep a distribution list of potential helpers.
The project is aimed to improve the water quality and aquatic habitat of the Tully primarily by establishing a healthy 20 foot wide riparian buffer, where none currently exists. Through a grant from the NRCS (matched by an anonymous foundation) we are planting 150 native trees and shrubs along the approximate 2300 feet of this section of the Tully Saturday, October 9th from 9:00 AM to Noon.
After the project we can head over to the Tully house for burgers and dogs or we could fish. Or we could do both!
Again, please send me a PM or email with your interest level in this project and future projects.
