project: Nathanson Creek Revegetation Project

This project focuses on the revegetation of native plants along the upper reach of Nathanson Creek that flows through an organic vineyard. With funding from the California Department of Fish and Game and the help and permission of the landowner, invasive plant species have been removed, wire revetments removed, and over 400 native plants, and over 200 willow stakes have been planted.

Invasive species and wire revetments along the banks were removed to allow for the establishment of native plants and to help stabilize creek banks. Two planting days were completed with community members and science students from Sonoma Valley High School. Another planting day facilitated by the Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation District was done with the FARMS program (Farming, Agriculture, Resource Management for Sustainability) a group of students from multiple high schools interested in agriculture and the environment.
