Riparian Restoration Tour
Riparian Restoration Tour
Are you a land manager with a stream or creek running through your property? Are you interested in learning about restoring stream health or enhancing wildlife habitat? Join us on Wednesday, June 3rd from 4 - 6 pm for a guided tour of a riparian restoration project along the South Fork of the Palouse River, about 6 miles southeast of Pullman. Participants should be prepared to walk up to a mile over uneven terrain and should dress for outdoor conditions; long pants and close-toe shoes are recommended. This event is free and open to the public, though registration is required as parking is limited. Exact location will be provided via email upon registration.
This field-based tour will highlight practical restoration strategies designed to:
Reduce erosion
Stabilize streambanks
Improve water quality by filtering sediment and nutrients
Enhance wildlife corridors
Improve aesthetics with native trees and shrubs
Participants will also learn about upcoming funding opportunities and technical support available to help meet conservation goals. Come see how thoughtful restoration can benefit your land and local waterways!
