Trees & Your Local Watershed: the Habitat of Happy Creek; Tree Stewards present free webinar Friday at 8 pm

Published

on

To understand why so many organizations became upset by the removal of most of the trees and vegetation along Happy Creek, the Coalition to Save Happy Creek felt that an explanation of “Riparian Habitat” and how it works to maintain healthy waterways that help prevent flooding and pollution would benefit the public. They will also discuss options on how to repair the Happy Creek riparian buffer.

The above webinar is being hosted by two of the partners of the Coalition, Sustainability Matters and the Alliance of the Shenandoah Valley this Friday at 8:00 pm. It is free and can be accessed by registering on Zoom, or watching it on the Sustainability Matters Facebook page.

Here’s the link to register for the Zoom webinar:
