Ames Creek Habitat Restoration Project

E&S Environmental Restoration, Inc., under contract to the South Santiam Watershed Council, has helped to coordinate Phase I of the Ames Creek Habitat Restoration Project. The project is restoring in-stream, wetland, and riparian habitat conditions along a degraded urban stream within the City of Sweet Home, Oregon, through a partnership of federal, state, and local governments, private industry, schools, landowners, and citizen groups. 

Ames Creek Near Sweet Home, Oregon.

The project will restore steelhead access to the stream, in-stream habitat structural diversity, and native wetland and riparian vegetation, as well as provide educational outreach to the local junior high and high schools.
