<p class="xmsonormal">Come help plant trees next week!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">WHAT: Plant 1,500 bare root trees/shrubs in riparian area of Dry Run.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">WHERE: Dry Run Stream restoration project on Mount Rogers, just off the I-81 Groseclose exit<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">WHEN: Wednesday, May 5<sup>th</sup>. Meet on site at 9:30.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">BRING: Lunch, gloves, shovel, hat, sunscreen, good attitude.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">BACKGROUND: The project site is an old farm purchased about 28 years ago by the National Park Service (NPS) as an Appalachian Trail (AT) corridor to be administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The land along Dry Run was used for farming
and grazing of livestock which resulted in damage to the stream channel and banks. In all but one access point, cattle have been excluded from the creek since purchase of the land, but stream channel function, instream fish habitat and riparian vegetation
have not significantly recovered. The previous owner maintained water access for cattle, upon NPS acquisition. This access and connection to the adjacent private land (along with a boldly flowing spring that feeds directly into Dry Run) is being currently
aquired by the Forest Service! <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">
😊</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The Dry Run Restoration project is establishing floodplain connectivity at the bank-full elevation, stabilizing streambanks at a 3:1 slope, with native riparian vegetation, matting and live staking. In-stream structures made of large
woody material and rock have been used for grade control, streambank protection and habitat complexity. Wetland areas are being re-established in the riparian area and floodplain. The project is being completed in segments, as funding is available, starting
with the most upstream segment at the intersection with Davis Valley Road. There are three planned segments, and two of them have been completed thus far using Virginia Forest Stamp funds (approximately $75,000).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Dry Run is a stocked trout stream, but since restoration has begun, wild rainbow trout have been sampled near the large the spring, which contributes cool water to the stream year around. Dry Run is a tributary to the Middle Fork Holston
River, which supports the federally listed mussels slabside pearlymussel, shiny pigtoe, finerayed pigtoe, and fluted kidneyshell, and the FS sensitive mussel Tennessee heelsplitter.<o:p></o:p></p>
