The planting plan and plant schedule Ecotropy provided was part of a team effort lead by Rushing Rivers Institute, with funding from Central Massachusetts Trout Unlimited and Nestlé Waters. After the removal of a series of dams and channels obstructing a small stream in Central Massachusetts to help foster fish habitat, volunteers from Fitchburg State University helped to install the Native plants. The planting refl ects appropriate facultative qualities of the plant communities, provides habitat value for birds, fish and small mammals and provides social value for the community with a beautiful place to go and learn about their local ecological communities.
