A Conservation Corps North Bay (CCNB) Crew helped with implementation. CCNB works with at-risk youth and provides opportunities for paid work, education, and civic engagement, and also teaches environmental ethics to foster a new generation of environmental stewards.
Removing ivy and replacing it with native plants will allow local wildlife to thrive again.
Downed wood was cleared, creating space to plant native plants, as well as reducing fuel load. Reducing fuel load makes for less severe and more easily manageable burns.
Removing ivy and downed wood can allow for native plants to channel those water and nutrients instead, allowing them to thrive, supporting a cleaner watershed.
