Thanks to a grant from the Home Depot Association, the UNRBA and the Sierra Club are planting trees along Lick and Little Lick Creeks and their tributaries to improve water quality.
Trees like ash, sycamores, and oaks are not only beautiful, they can also provide shade and improve aquatic habitat. Stream banks in the Piedmont are forested in their natural state. These forested areas, or "buffers," protect the stream bank from erosion and prevent pollutants from entering the stream and getting into our drinking water supplies.
Please join us as we plant native trees from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm in East
Durham on Saturday, November 22 and Saturday, December 13.You'll learn how to properly plant trees and how our waterways filter pollution.
