PROJECTS 7-9 CLICK HERE FOR NARRATIVE
Save Maumee Riparian Buffer Initiative projects are planting trees along perennial streams in these three sub watersheds.
1) Bullerman Ditch (map)
2) Six Mile Creek (map)
3) Trier Ditch (map)
* Save Maumee Grassroots Organization along side the U.S. Forestry Service grant was awarded by Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) funding, to plant 2,780 trees between Spring 2016 – Fall 2018. Projects were again funded to plant another 1,390 trees between Spring 2019 – Fall 2020.
* The trees we plan to purchase are listed above. The trees will be planted on floodways & floodplains that are considered “flashy and violent.”
* Ideally trees will be in a 1-3 gallon container. Rarely, through approval, will bare-root trees be used. Some trees are OVER the size of a 5 gallon container.
