Stroud Center study shows value of streamside trees
In a study conducted on tributaries of the Brandywine River including Birch, Doe, and Buck & Doe Runs, as well as 13 other streams in eastern North America, a multidisciplinary team of Stroud Center researchers, has discovered that streamside (or riparian) forests play a critical role in cleaning up our streams and rivers. The study, whose findings were published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in September 2004, demonstrated that not only do trees keep pollutants out of streams, they also help process those that are in them.
