On Saturday April 26th Franklin Soil and Water is hoping to plant 5,000 trees with the help of up to 200 volunteers. The trees will be planted along Rocky Fork Creek and its tributaries in Plain Township.
The tree planting will be in two shifts. From 8 am until 12 pm and 12:30 pm until 4:30 pm volunteers are expected from the New Albany-Plain Local School District, local watershed groups, and those interested in improving local water quality.
There will also be a public forum to view the recently released Rocky Fork Creek Watershed Action Plan. The plan highlights the condition and impairments of Rocky Fork Creek according to a MORPC release.
