Preventing erosion on 1,300 feet of stream by reconnecting its natural floodplain.
Bank erosion repair work has been completed along the channel. Maintenance for vegetation reestablishment is an ongoing project.
The restoration project includes buckthorn removal, an oak savanna restoration, beach plant community restoration, shoreline restoration and replacing the existing turf grass with low-maintenance grass.
Shoreline restoration prevents soil erosion from entering our lake, as well as providing filtration for other pollutants. Native plants provide bank stabilization, water filtration, and habitat improvement. Three main shoreline restoration techniques were used to stabilize these areas: brush bundles, cedar revetment and native plantings with erosion control blanket.
