 
Participants at a three-day Stream Restoration workshop assist in restoration efforts along 475 feet of Smith Creek. At the upstream end of the restoration site cedar tree revetments are being installed. The cedar trees will help to armor the stream bank against the erosive forces of water in addition to providing habitat for aquatic species. Other participants assist in placing matting along the sections of the stream bank that was disturbed. The matting will hold the soil in place as the grass, trees and shrubs become established. Once established the vegetation will help to hold the soil in place.
