Hepworth Anglers Club Continue the Spring Creek Restoration Project

The Hepworth Anglers Club resumed the sixth year of the Spring Creek Restoration Project by planting trees along the stream banks.

Later two riffle beds and aeration structures were constructed in the stream. Additional cover was provided by embedding cedar trees and root wads into the stream banks; opening up side channels.

S18-2

Summer students Colin Burchell and Edyn Hillman assisted with the restoration work, including working with Dr. James Hamilton (Wilfrid Laurier University) monitoring equipment sites and gauging water flows.

S18-1

Tom MacDonald, the local contractor for the 2018 portion of the restoration, was under the guidance of Chris Cummings of Matrix Solutions. Bio mass studies were taken to measure results of the past years of restoration.

Green Feet Ecosystem Services, a company specializing in drone imaging and analysis have completed their first flyover of Spring Creek to do a Digital Surface Model. This drone surface is funded in part by Bruce Power, one of the Hepworth Club’s partners in the Spring Creek restoration project. Major restoration work will begin in July including continuation of improving stream habitat and conducting biomass studies, which are used to measure and assess restoration work completed to date.
