Water Quality Grant Debris Remonal
SCD worked with Stillwater Valley Watershed to identify and remove non-native debris left in the wake of the 2022 flood from our streambanks. We cleaned up over 19 sites including a sink, sauna, and outhouse!
Roots in
the Ground
SCD sells bareroot trees at wholesale price each year. Our goal is to get roots in the ground to conserve the soil. In 2024 we sold over 3,000 trees/plants and are well on our way to beating that number in 2025.
Willow
Program
SCD harvests dormant willows in the winter and then replants them along streambanks in the early spring. That way these cutting wake up with their feet wet and thrive in their purpose of preventing streambank erosion.
