Summary
| Description |
English: This recent rehabilitation of a portion of Johnson Creek restores bioswale and flood control functions of the land which had long been converted to pasture for cow grazing. The horizontal logs can float, but are anchored by the posts. Just-planted trees (in seedling protective tubes) will eventually stabilize the soil. The fallen trees with roots jutting into the stream are intended to enhance wildlife habitat. The meandering of the stream is enhanced here by a factor of about three times, perhaps to its original course. A kiosk will probably appear here alongside the Springwater Corridor roughly where SE 164th Ave virtually crosses. Kelley Creek merges with Johnson Creek in the background (barely visible).
Français : Réhabilitation récente d'une partie d'un cours d'eau (Johnson Creek) visant à reméandrer et renaturer le cours d'eau pour des raisons écologiques et pour mieux limiter le risque d'inondation en aval, sur une zone longtemps convertie en pâturage pour bovins. Dans ce cas, les rondins et troncs d'arbres couchés au sol peuvent flotter, mais sont ancrés par des poteaux. De nombreux plants d'arbres ont été plantés (visibles dans leurs tubes de protection) pour si nécessaire stabiliser le sol. Les arbres tombés dans l'eau en amont avec ou sans leurs racines formeront des embâcles et du bois-mort qui améliorent l'habitat faunistique. Les méandres du ruisseau ont ici été renforcés (environ d'un facteur de trois) pour ressembler au cours supposé d'origine. Le Kelley Creek fusionne avec le Johnson Creek en arrière-plan (à peine visible). |
