Our Efforts
Stewardship efforts focus on the following goals: 
  • Reduce the presence of invasive trees (mostly ailanthus & princess trees) in the southeastern bluffs along Buck Creek. 
  • Maintain gravel roadway by regrading, restoring water bars, and water drainage patterns as needed. Control unwanted vegetation growing on the roadway. 
  • Continue to monitor disruptive beaver activity.
