Thanks to all the volunteers and folks who stopped by to check it out.

Another day on the shore...but aren't they all!
Today some finishing touches, hay along the chevrons, woven brush, and a last snuggle in of mulch to our plants. Our living shoreline project is almost complete... for now. In November we will apply another coat of hay and brush to prepare our new little plants for their first winter.
For today, a little TLC as they lived through their very first rain and wind storm yesterday.
Here's to Helping this riparian buffer zone Heal up and grow 💪 strong.
