A quick inspection of the Milk Creek Project log structures shows grasses and willows sprouting, even though fall rains have not yet arrived.
Milk Creek water is clear as it flows past the 380-foot vegetated log matrix. Immediately downstream from the main structure, the creek continues past three engineered log jams installed on the opposite bank.
The log landing has been reclaimed, as has the diversion channel established to keep Milk Creek clean during construction. We were able to protect some mature oaks and maples during construction.
