Northeast Region, October 4, 2007
Print Friendly Version
Over 200 students from 4 area high schools, Maplewood, Saegertown, Cambridge Springs, and Erie Collegiate Academy, participated in a major planting project on Erie National Wildlife Refuge.   Native trees and shrubs were planted to provide a 50 foot conservation buffer beside Muddy Creek on the Seneca Division of the refuge.  The restored riparian consisted of 1.75 acres.   Muddy Creek provides habitat for 2 species of  endangered mussels, and is a feeder creek to French Creek, an important and biologically-diverse creek in Pennsylvania.  The project was funded through the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
