Blackwood Valley Creek Lines – Fringing and Lower Bank
These plants grow along the edge of creek lines in the Blackwood Valley. Each creek line’s natural vegetation will vary depending on soils. In winter creek line vegetation may become inundated.
These plants help by :
Holding the banks together
Filtering nutrients and trapping soil
Slowing down the water flow at the river’s edge which reduces undercutting and erosion of the bank
Providing habitat for lots of insects, which in turn are a food resource for frogs, fish and water birds
