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

Little Bear Creek, 2003, Bothell: Replacement of an undersized culvert, and installation of a grade control weir downstream. Non native vegetation was removed and native trees and shrubs were planted

Little Bear Creek, 2003, Woodinville: 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.
