Huge thanks to our fence-building team who spend a chilly Saturday morning building cages for the little shrubs we'll plant on Nov 7. I didn't think we would finish it in one morning, but we knocked out 60 cages in about an hour! What a display of energy, effort, talent, and teamwork! Special thanks to Pennsylvania Master Naturalist volunteers and to the Washington County Conservation District for allowing us to use their facilities to do this work, and to Ken Maglietta for getting the supplies we needed.
Nice seeing folks from all across the county (representing four watersheds) working together on this project, which aims to protect the waterways throughout the county (and beyond).
Hope to see you all on Planting Day this coming Saturday!

Help us plant trees! Join us as we start our new live stake nursery and plant our way to healthier streams for our communities. On Nov 7, we'll be expanding our live stake nursery at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, planting 60 flowering shrubs that can be propagated from dormant cuttings. These cuttings will be used to stabilize eroding streambanks in Washington County! Please register here: https://www.wcwalliance.org/events/tree-planting
I'm so excited about the potential that this nursery has to restore our local waterways. Sediment from erosion is the #1 pollutant in our waters, and the simple act of live staking can mitigate that erosion and also act to keep excess nutrients from reaching the water. Plus, the native shrubs are as beautiful as they are beneficial to our wildlife!-- And it's fun! Hope to see you there!!

We had fun tabling at Main Street Farmers Market yesterday and enjoyed talking about the many benefits of planting native plants to market goers. They, in turn, were delighted to be able to take home their very own native shrubs, kindly provided by our very talented Ken Yonek. Having arrived at the market a little early, I had the chance to admire the striking architecture along that stretch of Main Street. But imagine my surprise to find an owl peering back down at me!😄

The Main Street Farmers Market is OPEN today from 3–6!

Yesterday several members of the Washington County Watershed Alliance attended Allegheny County Conservation Districts Flowing Forward watershed summit at Tree Pittsburgh. It's always great to hear what everyone else in the space is up to, but also we got to see this sleepy Eastern Screech Owl hanging out in a next box overhanging the parking lot! What a cool place! Thanks to ACCD and Tree Pittsburgh!

Save the date! November 7, one month from today, volunteers will expand our live stake nursery at the PA Trolley Museum!
What is a live stake nursery, you ask? It’s a place to grow starter plants that can be readily propagated from cuttings. These cuttings will provide a cost-effective way to help stabilize local eroding streambanks, keeping sediment and other pollutants out of our waterways.
We will have a pre-planting day on October 31 when we will make the wire cages needed to protect the young plants.
We hope you can join us for one or both days! Your help will result in healthier streams for Washington County and beyond!
Thank you!!
