Latest Silver Lake Planting event brings more
native shrubs and trees into St. Jones buffer 

More than 100 volunteers recently planted more than 200 native trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials along the banks to the St. Jones River at Dover’s Silver Lake Park. The event was part of two-year restoration plan that will establish a buffer along the banks of the river that will improve water quality, by reducing stormwater run-off, sediment and excess nutrients from entering the river. This was the third such planting and went beyond the five acres of buffer already established by the earlier plantings. Photo by Eugene Ruane
