The sun rises over a recently built side channel on Sonoma County's Dry Creek. The vertical stumps that at first appear as a recently logged streamside, are actually full length logs that have been pneumatically driven into the ground to stabilize flow enchancing features. The denuded ground has been stripped of exotic plant species and reseeded with native riparian species. This stretch of water will maintain steady, cool, and slow flowing water that is ideal for young Coho salmon.
