Want to know more about healthy water systems and conservation best practices? Take a walk along Grassy Creek (a tributary of the New River) with the New River Water Watchers. We’ll have some sample water tests to practice with.

We’ll also hear about the vital importance of riparian buffers zones to water health. Joe Johnson from Foggy Mountain Nursery will talk about the New River Conservancy River Builder program and showcase the riparian buffer zone he planted along Grassy Creek through a partnership between the River Builder program and Hart-T-Tree Farms.

Wear your creek shoes if you want to practice water sampling!
