Nestled among the rolling hills of Harford and Baltimore Counties, the landscape at Willow Oaks Farm is a seamless blend of agriculture and nature. A creek called Yellow Branch flows through the farm, andjust like the soybeans nearbyit too has been carefully cultivated. Like many streams in Maryland, it was straightened decades ago to create more farmland. But after years of erosion and flooding, farmers and environmentalists are realising that returning streams to their natural shapes helps protect the landscape. With help from ecological restoration company Ecotone, we see what it takes to make a straight stream meander again, and we see how nature and the farm both benefit.
