Stafford Bridge

Watershed Restoration Stewardship

Stafford Bridge

This public planting of several hundred trees is located around the four corners of Stafford Bridge on Marcola Road along the Mohawk River. Four plots were installed, one for each quad of the project. The Stafford Bridge site is a restoration project associated with reconstruction of the bridge. A wide mix of species is present, including many upland trees and shrubs. Bank stabilization is one of the primary goals of this project.

View from Stafford Bridge.

Floodwash can be seen on in the trees and on cages.
