King’s Branch feeds into Flat Creek, which flows into the South River. A year ago its stream bed was as much as 20 feet below the surrounding land, incised into the Earth by runoff from roads and residences in the area, Arundel Rivers Federation outreach coordinator Nancy Merrill said.
The federation hopes to reduce the amount of pollution coming from King’s Branch through a two-thirds of a mile long mile stream restoration, which will be complete this fall once 1,600 trees and 800 shrubs, among other species, are planted on the banks.
