WYOMISSING, Pa. – Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help stabilize a streambank in Wyomissing.<\/p>\n
The group planted hundreds of trees along the Tulpehocken Creek this morning.<\/p>\n
The project aims to put a buffer between the creek and the land and comes after the removal of the Bushong Dam.<\/p>\n
About 30 volunteers met up at the Berks leisure area before heading out to three different locations.<\/p>\n
Berks recreation officials say the plants and trees chosen will help strengthen the land.<\/p>\n
“We have a variety of tree species and plants that are being put in. Long story short, all of these are well suited for areas along a body of water,” said Daniel Roe, assistance director at the Berks County Recreation Department.<\/p>\n
The dam was originally built in 1892 to power the Bushong Paper Company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WYOMISSING, Pa. – Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help stabilize a streambank in Wyomissing.
