We need your help! Volunteers are needed to help LTWC harvest spirea limbs. We’ll be planting their live stakes at our riparian restoration projects. 
Spirea is a lovely native shrub with showy pink or rose colored flower clusters in the summer. Much like willows, spirea stakes help provide fast-growing habitat along restored stream banks, keeping soil in place and providing cover and shade for wildlife until other planted trees & shrubs have a chance to catch up.
