Yesterday was a great day for Shades Creek’s watershed! Thank you to Samford University, Homewood High School’s Environmental Club and other students, and the many community members that came out to remove LOTS of trash and invasive kudzu and taro.

What happens upstream makes its way to our oceans—initially to our estuaries, where a unique mix of fresh and salt water combines to create habitats that support exceptional diversity, places that are truly teeming with life! 🪸🦪🐟 From Calcasieu Lake in Louisiana to Alabama's Perdido Islands and the Tony Trapani Reef at Bay St. Louis in Mississippi, we are working to safeguard our estuaries, thanks to your support. During , we are celebrating some of the most productive ecosystems on earth. 🌍

FOSC is pleased to have collaborated with the Freshwater Land Trust to make improvements to a vernal pool adjacent to Shades Creek on the Wildwood Preserve. Over 20 volunteers, including several from Samford University and UAB - The University of Alabama at Birmingham, constructed an earthen ditch plug which will help increase water in a temporary wetland to benefit frogs, salamanders and other forest creatures especially during drought times like we are seeing now.
