Shepherdstown Volunteers Tackle Invasive Plants in Town Run

For over two years, volunteers with the Town Run Watershed in Shepherdstown have focused on removing invasive species like yellow iris from local waterways. These efforts aim to improve the flow of Town Run, benefiting aquatic life and ecosystems. Residents like Suzie Patrick have noted positive changes in water flow and oxygenation in the stream running through their properties. The initiative encourages neighboring property owners to monitor and manage yellow iris growth, helping preserve the health of this vital water source.
