During the first five years of growth, young trees need to be protected from chewing — from deer above and rodents below.
Learn how far our watershed restoration program has come in nearly 10 years and where we’re going to help farms adopt science-based solutions that restore healthy streams.
Watch a video presentation outlining our research and case studies on how to maximize tree survival and growth in forested stream buffers.
The goal of improving the survival and growth of trees has persisted through decades of research. Yet, with every new advance, new questions arise.
Something wonderful is happening on the west branch of Red Clay Creek. It is getting its trees back — and perhaps its native brook trout, too.
Wise connects the dots between partners, funders, and landowners to increase the implementation of best practices in land management.
Growing up in Lancaster County and playing in its creeks, Wise had an up-close view of some of the water-quality issues he is now working to correct.
Understanding how streams work and the importance of trees to streams is fundamental to engaging landowners and decision makers.
In the last six years, Stroud Water Research Center has planted nearly 50,000 trees for clean water and healthy streams.
For the last 50 years scientists at Stroud Water Research Center have demonstrated the connection between good land-use practices and clean fresh water, between healthy soil and healthy water.
