Images from the Fall 2007 Northshore Chapter of Trout Unlimited stream rehabilitation project at Barr and Kissee Creeks. The projects goal is to remove invasive canary reed grass and blackberries from the lower reaches of Barr and Crissy creeks and revegetate with native plants and to add large woody debris to the stream margin, so that overwintering and sheltering habitat is created in the stream channel during high water events. This should improve the survival of steelhead and coho during their overwintering. As the native vegetation grows, the lower reaches of these creeks should be better shaded to cool the creek water, as well as for providing riparian habitat for birds and mammals.
