Healthy Forests for Healthy Streams

Healthy streamside forests help filter nutrients and sediment, shade and cool the water, and provide wildlife habitat. Check out this new video produced as part of a project funded in part by the Wildlife Conservation Society Climate Adaptation Fund to enhance the health of forests draining to high-quality streams in the Chagrin and lower Grand River watersheds.

Project partners and local funders include The Holden Arboretum, Cleveland Metroparks, Geauga Park District, Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District (Ohio), Lake County, OH: Stormwater Management Department, Lake Metroparks, Western Reserve Land Conservancy - Dominion Energy mini-grant program, Village of Gates Mills, Village of Moreland Hills, Think Media Studios, Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, Lake Erie Allegheny Partnership for Biodiversity, Cleveland Museum of Natural History Trout Club, and Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders.  See video below.
