This event has been canceled due to weather. If you have any questions about live staking and growing buffer gardens for reducing erosion, email stuart.cole@7lakesalliance.org.
Learn about Live Staking with a hands-on demonstration from our Shore Corps Steward – Daniel Sylvester.
Live stakes are dormant branches that will sprout roots when planted properly. Daniel will talk about the benefits of live stakes, how to harvest them, and how/where to plant them.
We will be retrofitting the riprap on Rome Town beach with live stakes, to increase habitat and shoreline stability. Live stakes are also a great way to jumpstart a buffer.
