This article is written about a project called STRAW in which adults and children get together to restore watersheds. They are "facilitating professionally designed riparian and wetland restoration projects in the North Bay." In other words they work to restore vegetation to wetland habitats that are critical to the ecosystem and the wildlife. They do this by planting native plants that are beneficial to endangered species and the water quality. They promote long term growth by controlling weed growth and irrigation so young plants will adapt to the habitat more easily. The project is a very good opportunity for the kids to become involved in their community and help their environment.
