Description

Developed a primary channel course, stabilized its banks, planted hundreds of feet of willow walls, developed several pools and lined the project riparian corridor with an assortment of tree and shrub species throughout the Phase IV reach.

Project Benefit

To improve instream and riparian conditions within Mill Creek to benefit native Salmon and steelhead populations in all life stages as well as re-develop a functional ecosystem for a myriad of plant and animal species along Mill Creek.
