Dry Creek Restoration Day (February 23, 2003)

Sunday February 23rd was our first restoration day along Dry Creek, one of the primary tributaries of lower Putah Creek, working with a Davis Girl Scout Troop and a private landowner. The Adopt-A-Reach program, in cooperation with California Audubon, the Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee and the Winters Putah Creek Committee led a workday placing jute mesh to help control bank erosion, planting creeping wild rye grass plugs, the predominant native grass and planting willow and cottonwood stakes along the toe of the bank.
