Winter Brush Blitz is our community conservation series focused on clearing invasive shrubs at the Brewster Wetland Complex. Winter gives us unique advantages when working with large woody invasives: open understories, better visibility, firmer ground, and the chance to reset habitat before spring growth returns. This season, we’ll concentrate all our effort on the Brewster…

For our final Fall Stewardship Challenge event, we’re giving thanks to Sugar Creek by protecting its banks and improving its future. Eroding streambanks here threaten water quality, aquatic habitat, and the stability of the surrounding floodplain. This project uses live stakes and other low-tech bioengineering techniques to stabilize vulnerable banks while working with the creek’s…

Building on restoration work from last year’s Fall Stewardship Challenge, this project continues to strengthen Fox Creek’s banks with deep-rooted native vegetation like willows and dogwoods. These plantings help hold soil in place, filter runoff, and create a shaded, cooler environment that benefits aquatic life. The expanding riparian buffer will provide food and shelter for…

Eroding streambanks along Sugar Creek threaten water quality, aquatic habitat, and the stability of the surrounding floodplain. This project uses live stakes and other low-tech bioengineering techniques to stabilize vulnerable banks while working with the creek’s natural processes—not against them. By planting deep-rooted native vegetation in key hydraulic zones, we’ll reduce sedimentation, filter runoff, and…
