Live-Stake Planting on the Little Miami River

The May 16th, Live Stake Planting event on the Little Miami River has been cancelled. Please check  back for updates.
May 16, 2020
10 am - 2 pm

Starting Point: Camp Friedlander
Ending Point: Jim Terrell Park

During this four hour event we will be installing live-stakes (willow cuttings). The live stakes will be planted into the eroded banks of the Little Miami River. Planting will be done from within the river channel. 

Live stakes are planted using a stake, similar to a piece of rebar, and mallet to create pilot holes that live-stakes can be placed in. Pilot holes are created at a 90 degree angel to the ground. Live-stakes are inserted pointy end down, so that 1/2 to 2/3 of the live-stake is planted in soil. ​​
