Fish Habitat - Creek Restoration

A salmon spawning stream in a residential neighborhood.
A homeowner was trying to do the right thing - to suppress weeds and improve stream flow by removing debris. They also wanted to make sure nothing fell into the stream, so they installed landscape fabric with mulch on top, and a few well-placed tree limbs to hold things in place.

​Makes sense.......
But not if you're a salmon.  PLUS, fish habitat is highly regulated.  So, if you have weeds, too-high grass, or blackberries you want to clear, Contact Me FIRST, so you don't get fined by your local jurisdiction!
