Skylands CLEAN, Inc.

Stream Planting on the West Brook

Help us restore and protect an eroded segment of the West Brook. Meet us at 10 am at the intersection of West Brook Road and Snake Den Road (In West Milford, NOT at the Ringwood end of Snake Den Road). We'll plant willow and dogwood cuttings and white pines along a section of the West Brook. As the plantings mature, they'll provide shade and cooler water temperatures that will protect the native troup population in the stream. Tools and refreshments will be provided! Please join us. For further information, or to RSVP, contact Tracy Margaret at tracy@skyclean.org.

Volunteers (ages 10 and up) should bring waders or waterproof boots. Since the planting is primarily cuttings, heavy digging is not typically involved. Many hands make light work!

Sustainable West Milford's first Green Fest

After the planting, why not stop by the first Annual Green Fest, sponsored by Sustainable West Milford? We'll be manning a table where we can meet our members and provide information on local environmental issues. The event runs from 10 am to 6 pm.
