Hedgerow Planting Day at CLBL's The Maples
Join Putah Creek Council for a morning of plant installation along a SLEWS hedgerow at Center for Land Based Learning's headquarters, The Maples. Volunteers will be installing California native plants in a hedgerow that was started by the Student and Landowner Education Watershed Stewardship Program as well as PCC's OneCreek Seasonal Restoration Program. This volunteer day will finish off the hedgerow by installing over 100 more plants! Hedgerows are living fences that are installed in working landscapes to increase biodiversity. They function as habitat corridors for wildlife and attract beneficial insects. Join us and get your gloves dirty while learning about the wonders of hedgerows!
