Working Together!
Replacing a culvert is a HUGE project involving landowner cooperation, working with local, state, and federal agencies, obtaining numerous permits, building relationships with contractors, and coordinating volunteers! Plus, the in-stream work window is a short time frame in late summer, so everything has to be ready to go.
In September 2016, we removed the top-priority barrier identified in our Action Plan by replacing the culvert where Badger Creek passes under the Springwater Trail. It was a colossal effort, and we couldn’t have done it without our partners and volunteers in the community.
