Doc Fritchey TU looking for volunteers on Hammer Creek projects

[The Rodfather]

Doc Fritchey has a slew of projects lined up on the Hammer Creek with funding in place needing volunteers to move forward with them.

These projects are large scale, high lift projects that will greatly impact the ecological landscape of this watershed.

If you are interested you can reach out to Russ Collins or myself and I can help point you in the right direction to help out with these projects.

What dates? I’m the leader of a student TU club at my high school in Wilmington, DE. I’d love to get our guys out for a stream restoration project sometime in the spring if this is something we’d be able to help with

Awesome! I sent you a PM to collect contact info to help in coordinating your get involved with some of these projects.

Could you provide a little bit more info about the nature of the projects and the type of help you are looking for?

These are very large scale legacy sediment restoration projects designed to increase ground water recharge and thus increase spring discharge and cool water temperatures.

Will need volunteers to do some physical work as well as working with Russ in coordinating the work to be done within the grant and project framework.

Target species of restoration is Brook Trout.

Doc Fritchey TU is having an informal meeting at Snitz Creek Brewery in the next month to discuss more in deprh about the projects with perspective volunteers. I'll post here when that date and time is set. Russ Collins will be reaching out to those interested as well. If you're interested, message me your contacts and I will pass along to him.
