Project Update

The large storm events we had over the weekend and into the beginning of this week have produced a significant amount of flow at the Cate Bank Stabilization Project. The flow was as high as the top of the root wads through the middle section. Bellow are some photos taken this last Sunday, the flow seems to have gone down since then but will potentially rise again with the pulse of rain that is expected this afternoon and evening.  Check back for more updates.

Photo taken from the downstream section looking back upstream shows stream flow through the project site.











The lower most rootwad, in the middle of the frame is just barely showing above the water level.

Project Update

The willow stakes out at the Cate bank stabilization project are already sprouting! Just over the last few weeks there has been a significant amount of growth. Bellow are some photos of the sites progress.


This photo, looking downstream shows the lower section of the project. The little green shoots all along the lower part of the bank are willow that was staked in from cuttings.

This photo shows the most downstream root wad with willow stakes sprouting all around it.





Check back for future updates on the project progress.
