FLEMINGÂ â Farmers and environmental group worked together on an environmental conservation effort in Fleming Saturday.
Around 20 people, including those with the Owasco Lake Watershed Management Council and the Owasco Watershed Lake Association, trudged through thick soil and mud that morning to plant willow canes along 1,400 feet between Veness Brook and farmer Todd DuMond s crop field.
DuMond, some of his family members and members of the Boy Scouts of America Troop 21 from Owasco were also putting in the willow canes, which are meant to eventually become willow trees.
Dr. Dana Hall, the event s organizer and president of OWLA s board of directors, said before the event that people there would be adding the canes and distributing grass seeds, which together will create a filtration buffer that will filter out the soil, dirt and the material inside the dirt from the field and from upstream before it can reach Owasco Lake.
