Riparian restoration of 1/4 mile of severely degraded stream on Big Creek, and an additional 1/4 mile of riparian habitat was restored on Little Creek near South End Road in New Meadows.  Both sections had highly unstable banks and almost no shade or shrub component.  Restoration increased shading, reduced sediment delivery to the creek, and improved riparian area that  acts as a filter for nutrient runoff as well as wildlife habitat.
