As noted on Sky-Hi News, Willow Creek was hard-hit by the East Troublesome Fire. The loss of willows along the banks can destabilize stream banks and cause the river to become polluted.
Trout Unlimited, with help from the C Lazy U Ranch and community volunteers, has harvested willow stakes and on Saturday, Aug. 5, Trout Unlimited will plant the willow stakes in a damaged riparian area on C Lazy U Ranch with the help of volunteers.
