Briar Creek Stream Restoration Work Day

Come out and participate in TU's strategic wood loading program to help create more habitat for Brook Trout in Briar Creek. We will be placing downed wood material in the stream channel to create wood aggregate structures. These structures increase the frequency of pools, create more gravel spawning areas, increase cover and provide more nutrients for bug life.

 

Volunteers will spend the first hour learning about rigging equipment and safety protocols. They will then put this knowledge into action at multiple locations in Briar Creek. Everyone will need to wear long pants and bring work gloves and footwear that can get wet. Rigging equipment, helmets and eye protection will be provided.

 

We will meet on site (see directions below) and plan to work from 9 am - 2 pm. Please note that Briar Creek Road is rough. Lunch will be provided. Up to 8 volunteers can sign up.
