Sample of Past Projects |
Lower Woods Creek, 2004,
Monroe: Installed and anchored 20 pieces of large woody debris to
create habitat and protect an eroding bank. Non-native vegetation
was removed and 2.5 acres along the creek was planted with native
trees and shrubs.
Great Dane Creek, 2004, Maltby: Installed and
anchored 3 structures (V Weirs) to control the streambed grade.
Large woody debris to create habitat and root wads to protect an
eroding bank were added. Non- native vegetation was removed,
native trees and shrubs were planted
Woodinville Park, 2004, Woodinville: Installed
and anchored 3 Elwood structures and 6 multi-log structures to
create habitat.
Sultan Side Channel, 2004, Sultan: Helicopter
placed 20 multi-log structures in a side channel of the Sultan
River. The structures were anchored with earth anchors and rebar
to provide cover and diversity to the channel. Non-native
vegetation was removed and native tree and shrubs were planted.
Brookside Ravine Revegetation, 2004, Lake Forest
Park: Riparian site preparation and planting on a steep ravine
along Brookside Creek (1.5 acre). A Zip-Line was used to send
plants down the hill to minimize impact.
Grace Creek, 2001-2004, Marysville: Designed the
creation of a 1200-foot riparian zone next to new stream channel.
Transferred 1000 fish from old channel to the new channel.

an undersized culvert, and installation of a grade control weir

Implemented a bioengineering project that stabilized a severely
eroding bank. The project involved placing a 10-tree revetment
and using manta-rays to anchor them. The riparian
zone was planted with native vegetation
Big Bear Creek, 2003, Paradise Valley
conservation area: Removed a barrier culvert, reshaped and
planted the adjacent slopes.
