tinbanger Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 our new house has a small creek running thru the ravine behind. Suckers spawn in the spring and farther upstream brookies . Its a feeder creek to Simcoe. Looking to do basic clean ups , bank stabilization , silt control , landowner education etc. much of the creek runs thru city property ( private land farther south) My question is has anyone had any experince with oprganizing a stream restoration program? have looked at Trout unlimited web site but nothing obvious. The company I work has a program that provides sponsorship and volunteer labour as well. With the vast experiences out there thought I'd ask TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Wow...great idea, but unfortunately I cant offer any suggestions. One thing I'd do though is find a nice bend in the creek on your property, and strategically place some large rocks and create a nice deep hole....hehe.

tonyb Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 There is cash up for grabs from the Government for projects to plant trees, stream bank stabilization, etc. This should help get you started: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/fishing/cfwip.html Good for you for taking an active role in improving habitat for wildlife and fish!
