This stream bank planting project occurred behind the City of Harrisonburg's Public Works Department. The department's property contains a large gravel parking lot that houses a variety of municipal vehicles and whose stormwater drains to Blacks Run. Stream impacts have been reduced and stream health improved by increasing and improving the vegetative buffer between the municipal lot and the stream. The following activities took place:
March 2008. Gravel area removed. Being prepared for seeding and planting.
Early Summer 2008.
