The project consists of a 3-acre site that straddles the East Branch of the Hylebos Creek (a 1.4-mile stretch of forested stream corridor). The site is in poor condition with respect to fish habitat; the site is covered by invasive blackberries and reed canary grass. In addition, three concrete retaining walls exist to constrict and control streamflow. This project consists of multiple invasive plant removal activities, planting of native trees and shrubs along the streamside and adjacent east valley wall to provide shad and cover for fish, placement of LWD into adjacent wetland and stream channel, and removal of the concrete retaining walls. The project has been submitted to this inventory by USEPA with the permission of NOAA.
