Success StoryEcological Research Education Center Stream Restoration Project



Ecological Research Education Center Stream Restoration Project

Author: Carmen Agouridis

Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering

Major Program: Backyard Streams

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Dr. Phil Crowley, former Director of the Ecological Research Education Center (EREC) approached me a couple of years ago regarding possibilities to restore a small intermittent stream on their property with the goal of conducting salamander research. I worked with Dr. Crowley over the past three years to secure funding and permits for the project, identified external designers/contractors, and coordinated with the design/build team to lead the design of the project. As of June 28, 2019, the project is under construction and should be finished within 1-2 weeks. I will work with volunteers to plant riparian vegetation. I am working with Agricultural Communications to develop a video outlining the project.
