2nd Annual Planting Day
May 30th was our second annual planting day along the
banks of Southwick
Creek. This was made possible
through a grant from the Lake Geneva Garden Club
Foundation and the twenty KNC Volunteers and Master
Gardeners that showed up to assist us with this
project. This is part of a project to
stabalize the banks of the creek and to reduce
erosion as well as improve the native habitat. We
were able to plant 3,500 Forbs, Sedges and Grasses
along the part of the creek that passes through
KNC. The next phase of the project will be to
improve the trout habitat in the creek and try to get
trout up through the 500' long culvert that passes
under the main entrance to the Conservancy. We
have spent the past three years clearing this area of
invasive plants and trees and are now enjoying going
into the planting and rehabilitation phase.
