Project Tour

Today at work I spent the latter part of the day on a project tour, looking at upcoming and completed project sites.  This picture is a successful restoration project; the creek you can see had been diverted when a sewer line was installed in the meadow.  The water pooled around the manholes and created such a draw that it dried out the whole meadow.  This channel was completely constructed and has raised ground water levels and restored the meadow to its original moisture content and therefore vegetation, habitat, and hydrology.  Very cool!
