Last week the California Conservation Corps worked to fence out the project area and harvest willows and sycamores from the site before construction began. A large pool was dug by the CCCs and lined with plastic sheeting to provide the willow and sycamore poles with water until we are ready to plant them. Last week limbing and removal of Avocado trees was also done along the access road to the project site. This week Peter Lapidus Construction began working on the toe trench on the downstream end of the project site. Peter will make his way up stream filling in the toe trench with large rock and laying back the bank to a more gradual grade. Check back later this week for more photos and updates as construction continues.
