Riparian zones are the areas of land that run along a river. They play a critical role in the productivity and health of the river, as well as protection zones for the lands beyond. Without healthy riparian zones, riverbanks are prone to erosion, biodiversity is lost, and river health can decrease. Riparian zones have been commonly cleared for agriculture and urbanization.

The CMM’s Department of Aquatic Resources and Fisheries Management will be replanting trees in a cleared riparian zone along River Philip outside of Oxford, and we are looking for help!

Join us on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 to help restore this riparian zone back to a healthy state.

Transportation will be provided from The CMM building to the worksite in Oxford, and back.

Bus leaves at 10:00AM and will return around 2:00PM
