GTU/Stream Team member Michael Hey has been in contact with MDC regarding tree planting and related projects for September forward.
They are currently in the planning phase of 4-5 events this Fall. One will be in Eureka, MO on the Meremac River. The others will be near Leasburg, MO on the Huzzah River. Mike is in the process of coordinating dates for these events, details will be coming soon. In the meantime, if you have interest in projects like this that are intended to improve water quality, habitat, and the animals who depend on our stewardship of this planet, we want to hear from you!
