What a difference a day makes! Topsoil was spread today and raked to provide good soil-to-seed contact. Straw mulch was placed to help with germination of the seed.
The opposite bank is being shaped and tomorrow Milk Creek will be returned to the old channel. Meanwhile, work on some additional small log jams just downstream from the project started.
