Dunwoody Earth Day Stream Clean-up

As a part of the Earth Day celebrations, the City of Dunwoody is hosting a stream clean-up along a portion of the Nancy Creek tributary that runs along Pernoshal Park and a multi-use trail. We also plan to pull privet and plant stakes along the stream bank.

Live stakes are dormant, live woody cuttings of a species with the branches trimmed off. Live staking performs an important function in creating a root mat that stabilizes the soil by reinforcing and binding soil particles together. Stake establishment also improves aesthetics and provides a habitat for wildlife. Live stakes can be used on their own to secure other bioengineering materials or as an anchor for erosion control and geofabric.

VOLUNTEER!!   YOUR PARKS NEED YOU!!
