The Town of Galena and ShoreRivers are excited to be hosting a River Friendly Yards workshop on June 28th at the Galena Town Hall. The Program will be from 6:30-7:30 p.m. with refreshments at 6p.m.

The River-Friendly Yards campaign aims to educate residents about river-friendly practices that improve water quality and create natural habitat. ShoreRivers' staff, in partnership with local experts, will offer information on native ground cover alternatives to turf grass, soil testing to ensure responsible application of fertilizer, enhancing buffers to stabilize shorelines and prevent erosion, and brief overviews of rain gardens and other conservation landscaping practices.
