Project Update

The native vegetation at the Cate bank stabilization is establishing well. Over the last several months there has been significant growth on the willows poles, container stock, and native seed that were planted at the site. The sticky monkey flowers are currently flowering and the giant rye is going to seed. 

Photo taken from the downstream end looking back upstream at the project site shows the significant amount of growth that occurred since December 2010, for comparison look at the last post. 








Photo of one of the sticky monkey flowers that was planted from a 2 inch pot at the site only a few months ago is now over a foot tall. 










Photo taken looking upstream from the lower most rootwad through the middle section of the project, shows there is still flow at the project site and growth on willow poles surrounding the rootwad structures.
