Several members of the Sleepy Creek Watershed Association teamed with the West Virginia Department of Forestry’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Forester, Herb Peddicord, and property owners Bill and Gabriella Dahl to plan an 80 tree riparian buffer along a Sleepy Creek tributary on Highland Ridge Road on Friday, April 25. After planting, the trees were encased in plastic tubes to protect them from damage by deer and other wildlife.
