Completed Activities and Projects
Our projects are never completed.
? We are constantly battling invasive plants?ivy, broom, daphne?that are taking over more fragile ecosystems
? For six years we have been studying the effects of stormwater runoff (both quality and quantity) from the watershed, restoring fish habitat to the Creek, and increasing public awareness of the problems and what can be done. We now have coho surviving in the Creek and hope for returning spawners within the next couple of years.
