Live Staking on Medway Creek by UTRCA
In November, the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) led live staking projects at two locations along Medway Creek. Despite the almost foot of snow, students from Medway High School and volunteers from the Thames River Anglers were able to get all of the live stakes into the ground! Using live stakes cut from willow trees, volunteers and UTRCA staff hammered them into the shore of the Medway Creek in areas of high erosion. Live staking involves cutting stems or branches from native trees and shrubs, sharpening them into stakes, and hammering them into the streambank. The stakes stabilize the banks, reducing erosion, creating habitat for native species, cool the water (through shading), and reduce the impacts of flooding.
