BLENKINSOP CREEK RELOCATION
& RESTORATION - Galey
Brothers Farm
Relocated and restored 500 metres of Blenkinsop Creek at Galey Brothers Farm. The new creek channel resulted in 13% more arable land, a properly functioning creek (with sinuosity, complexity, large wood and native riparian plants).
Swell's Contribution
As a Master's student at the University of Victoria, Lehna coordinated and contributed to the design of the restoration, supervised the contractor, coordinated volunteers for planting and invasive species control, and conducted monitoring for the duration of the project.
