RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. (RFD News) — Conservation groups are working to protect Lytle Creek as rapid growth in Rutherford County brings more concerns about runoff and erosion.
The recently completed second phase of the Lytle Creek Section 319 project included planting trees and stabilizing the creek bank south of Murfreesboro. Crews also reshaped parts of the bank and added coconut fiber-wrapped cedar logs to help prevent erosion.
The grant program can cover up to 60 percent of project costs for work aimed at improving water quality, along with education and outreach.
