Wildlands Conservancy is seeking volunteers to join its Stream Team, which works to improve the quality of water entering the Lehigh River by restoring streamside areas/riparian buffers throughout the Lehigh Valley.​

Volunteers maintain tubes placed over trees to protect them from deer and remove invasive vegetation from along streams. They must be at least 16 years old (or accompanied by a parent or guardian if under 16) and be able to work outside on ground that may be uneven.​

Among the upcoming opportunities to get involved are stream restorations that are scheduled for Friday, Aug. 9 at Saucon Park in Bethlehem; Friday, Aug. 16 at Gall Farm Preserve in Plainfield Township; and Friday, Aug. 23 at Trexler Nature Preserve in Schnecksville.​
