Plans To Improve Spring Creek In Washtenaw County
President Donal Haines of the Washtenaw County Conservation Association outlines a trout stream project for Spring Creek. Instead of dams, they will install 12 inch by 10 foot cutting dams to form pools and deflectors to deepen the water, plant cover on banks, and add shelter. Only a quarter mile will be worked this summer, funded by donations of old plank, stone, wire and labor, with a map being drafted and future work to be announced in The Observer.
