This is one of my all time favorite sections of the stream restoration web site. If you are a “visual” type of person this is a good place to catch the flavor of what stream restoration is all about.

Our habitat restoration project has been divided up onto discreet location sites (treatment sites) for the purpose of the implementation phase. Initially this consisted of 43 positions along Joe Hall and Alexandra Creeks. When the main dispersal of large wood and boulders was about to take place the project team lead reduced the site numbers to 33. This was done to facilitate the combining of certain areas into a single zone. The vast majority of the large wood pieces consisted of logs that were 55 feet long and some of the site positions were of a closer proximity in distance than that.

Since the prework photography contained all 43 sites I have separated this index hyperlink map and a corresponding treatment site table into that many cells for the sake of taking full advantage of the before and after images. Keep in mind that habitat restoration is an ongoing process. It takes several years for the ecosystem to adapt to the environmental alterations that have been made.

I've created a hyperlinked image below as a means navigation via a “hot spot map“. By selecting (clicking) a position number or its corresponding green dot on the map you will be able to navigated to the page pertaining to that location in the project area. Each of the comments cells in the table beneath the “hot spot maps“ will take you to the treatment site pages also.

Navigation links are located at the bottom of each treatment site images page so you can return here.
