Medway High School Students Stabilize Soil Along Medway Creek
Medway High School students joined staff from the 糖心直播 (UTRCA) to help establish a woody streambank along a 150-metre section of Medway Creek thanks to the Canada Water Agency's EcoAction Community Funding Program. Using shrub willow, cut and shaped into live stakes, the students hammered over 200 cuttings directly into the eroded bank.听
Why Willow? Willow trees naturally combat erosion with strong root systems that stabilize soil along riverbanks and reduce flooding impacts. They also filter runoff, trapping sediments and absorbing excess nutrients to protect water quality and prevent algal blooms, supporting a healthier creek and ecosystem.听
Thank you, Medway students!听
