Event Details
Join us for an exciting day of environmental stewardship at Saucon Park as we work together to expand a riparian buffer along the Saucon Creek! This project is vital in protecting water quality, restoring wildlife habitat, and enhancing the natural beauty of the park.
During the event, we will plant 300 trees of various sizes and install protection tubes to ensure their survival from herbivores. In addition to the new plantings, participants will also help maintain and care for the trees that were planted during last year’s buffer installation.
