Conservation District staff and community residents planted a riparian buffer at East Buffer Street in Emmaus in September. Staff and volunteers dug holes and planted native trees and shrubs along a tributary to the Little Lehigh Creek. Thank you for helping us improve the water quality of the Little Lehigh Creek Watershed and providing a wonderful habitat for local wildlife.

Tree tubes are a barrier method of tree protection that prevents animal browse or harsh, dry wind from damaging a tree seedling.
