Description: This recent rehabilitation of a portion of Johnson Creek restores bioswale and flood control functions of the land which had long been converted to pasture for cow grazing. The horizontal logs can float, but are anchored by the posts. Just-planted trees (in seedling protective tubes) will eventually stabilize the soil. The fallen trees with roots jutting into the stream are intended to enhance wildlife habitat. The meandering of the stream is enhanced here by a factor of about three times, perhaps to its original course. A kiosk will probably appear here alongside the Springwater Corridor roughly where SE 164th Ave virtually crosses. Kelley Creek merges with Johnson Creek in the background (barely visible).
