Heavy machinery is once again at work at the Land Trust's Camp Polk Meadow Preserve. These past two weeks have seen excavators, bulldozers, and numerous dump trucks completing the final construction of phase of the Whychus Creek restoration. Crews are carving side channels, removing access roads and plugs, and stockpiling dirt and rock for the eventual final plugging of the channel.
Take a video tour with stewardship director Amanda Egertson as she shows you one of the newly created side channels explaining why it will be such good habitat for native fish.
