Volunteers plant trees to stabilize a river after dam removal

Season 2025 Episode 92 | 2m 50s | CC

More than a dozen volunteers planted willow trees October 25 to stabilize a river bank outside of Eleven Mile Canyon. The project comes two years after a dam was removed from the river, which significantly lowered the amount of water, but also allowed trout to swim upstream, producing more quantity and diversity of offspring. The dormant willows will then have all winter to establish its roots.
