Red-osier Dogwood and Arrowwood Viburnum are among the water tolerant plants that were integrated into the stabilization plans. Downstream several large downed trees were buried in the streambank with their roots protruding into the channel. These rootwads deflect and slow the current, and provide fish cover. With extensive community and volunteer support, this award-winning project has been a great success and has attracted professional restoration biologists eager to see mitigation techniques at work. The Water Discovery Interpretive Nature Trail at Keystone College is one of several trails on the campus.
All trails have interpretive guidebooks and are open to the public during daylight hours.
