Duties | We will be stepping into chest waders and wading into waist-deep water to anchor old Christmas trees into the streambank. This not only reduces erosion and stabilizes the streambanks, it creates habitat for young trout and salmon, which hatch on the site every year. Take a look at how your help will improve fish and wildlife habitat, water quality and our economy in our 9 minute documentary. You can also visit our website for more information. |
