I received this E-mail from Pete Goodman of the Valley Forge TU chapter:
Friends and Fellow Members,
I believe that it was 3 years ago that we installed stream bend protection in Valley Forge National Historical Park. It is performing well.
It is also in need of maintenance and fortification. Valley Forge National Historical Park has asked us to join them on National Public Lands Day to do this project and be part of the broader volunteer effort going on in the park that day. That is Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 9:00 AM near Lafayette’s Quarters upstream from the iron bridge over Valley Creek at Wilson Road.
We need a group of volunteers to lash in new cedar trees adding to the revetment that already exists. Those existing worn trees are trapping sediment, softening storm flows and protecting the stream bank.
No special skills are required. Bring gloves, waders (if you have them) and water for yourself and you should be set. We will have folks to show you what needs to be done.
I would like to have an idea of how many volunteers we will have so if you would please respond to this email by Sept. 23, I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your consideration,
Pete Goodman

If you spend time fishing Valley, why not spend a little time fixing Valley? See you there.
