Yennadon Youth Association and Riparian Care
This past weekend, the banks along the smooth flowing North Alouette received the attention of 30 cubs and beavers from the Yennadon Youth Association, when 150 Western Red Cedars trees and willows were planted in a compromised riparian area.
The Cubs, Beavers and parents were able to see the effects of bank erosion caused by very fast moving water. With the continued removal of native vegetation from our watershed areas for the purpose of ‘progress’ and housing developments, there will be an increase in this “flushing” effect and flooding in all areas down stream.
Our next tree-planting event is 16 April 2005; volunteers are always welcome, let us know if you’re interested.
