Our photo documentation proceeds at a more leisurely and seasonal pace now as the patient engineer Nature takes over from the boys in bulldozers. Check back from time to time as we record the changes that take place along Wakefield Run following the restoration project.
Very few fish were visible upstream of the Cross County Trail bridge. The large drops between pools make their passage difficult. Instead, damselfly larvae were visible in abundance. Another possible trouble point is evidence that the stream is finding its own way in a couple spots, beginning to bypass the structures meant to contain the current. |
