Streamside Forest Restoration to Improve Water Quality — Brandywine Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved planting 400 trees along Craigs Mill Run (1.8 acres) and 600 trees along the East Branch of Brandywine Creek (1.8 acres) in Pennsbury and East Brandywine townships, respectively, as a best management practice for keeping pollutants out of local streams and improving their health.

Streamside Forest Restoration to Improve Water Quality — Red Clay Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved an experimental planting of 500 trees on 1.5 acres of riparian land as a best management practice for keeping pollutants out of a headwater tributary of Red Clay Creek as well as creating a research site for testing the effects of herbicide use on the survival and growth of seedlings.

Streamside Forest Restoration to Improve Water Quality — Crum Creek

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project involved an experimental planting of 925 trees on 4.1 acres of riparian land for keeping pollutants out of two headwater tributaries of Crum Creek and learning new insights into how to properly install the bird netting, associated with protective shelters, placed on all seedlings to increase their survival and growth.
