The project would improve riparian vegetation, increase in-stream habitat complexity, provide additional riparian cover, and manage fine silt through the following actions:
*Planting native riparian vegetation;
*Installing large wood;
*Fencing to prevent livestock access to the creek and riparian areas;
*Removing invasive plant species; and
*Removing fine sediment

At present, the creek, impacted by a slope failure (Bell Ravine), is deficient in habitat diversity, in-stream wood, riparian vegetation, and spawning gravels. Pools and spawning gravels have filled with sand and the dredging of these sediments to maintain driveways crossing the creek has taken place. Controls of the slide are unknown.

This is a Green/Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Project

The project depends on voluntary participation by property owners through easement, sale or other incentives.
