The Teedyuskung Creek Restoration Project

Riparian Restoration

Phase 1 - Live Stalking
Phase 2 - Shrub Planting
Phase 3 - Wildflower Seeding

 

Phase 2:  Shrub Planting

In April, 2001, volunteers from the Conservation District helped plant shrubs in the Woodloch Springs Area as part of the riparian restoration effort. 
The Teedyuskung Creek running through the Woodloch Springs Country Club has an adequate buffer of around fifty feet of unmowed grass.  However, these shrubs were planted because the lack of shade around the stream causes water temperatures to rise.  The shrubs provide shade and beauty in the riparian zone.


Mountain Laurel

Native plants such as Mountain Laurel, Chokeberry, Buttonbush, and Winterberry were planted, according to plan, along the waterway.
The Woodloch Springs Country Club landscaping staff helped to protect the plants by putting up fencing around all of the newly planted shrubs.


Button Bush

This Buttonbush will be happy as a clam near water!  Common Buttonbushes love wet areas and can grow 6 to 12 feet high in just a few years.
