Mores Creek Tree Planting, Saturday May 3rd

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:26:19 -0400

Getting your hands dirty…

by Pam Smolczynski, Trout Unlimited Boise River Coordinator

Want to plant a tree for trout? I could really use some hands to plant some beautiful cottonwood trees along the banks of Mores Creek, near Idaho City! These trees have been carefully grown for three years. I am excited to show you what we are accomplishing up on Mores Creek!

Please consider volunteering for a Saturday morning this spring!

Here are the details:

When: May 3rd 10:00 am Where: Pine Creek turnoff – just one mile above Idaho City on Highway 21. Just turn right and follow road to the creek.

Why: Phase II of the Mores Creek Restoration Project is ready to be planted! Please dress according to the weather. Coffee and Treats will be provided, along with planting tools… just bring your smile, and maybe a pair of gloves.

Please contact Pam at 938-1110 ex. 14 OR cell: 859-7359 so she knows how many shovels and treats to pack up there!

Saturday morning survey of south bank of Boise River, just upstream of Logger Creek diversion and Bown Crossing. Some 300 feet of bank is eroding. We’ll probably start at this upstream end and try to get some work done this spring. A couple of hardened and narrowed access points to the river will be necessary to keep the stick-fetching dogs and their owners happy.
