A Fallen Tree Ruptures Cliff and Damages a Creek: Watershed Restoration Repairs It
From: Barry Vogel
Series: Radio Curious
Length: 29:01
Standing in the knee-high, flowing waters of Gibson Creek in Ukiah, California we visit with some of the 35 Volunteers from Watershed Stewards Project, The Friends of Gibson Creek and The California Department of Fish and Game, in this edition of Radio Curious. The project, organized by Chelsea Neill, an Americorps Volunteer is meant to stop the erosion of a cliff at a bend in the creek that was ruptured by a falling tree.
We visited on April 14, 2012. First I spoke with Chelsea Neill who describes the work being done, THEN with Linda Sanders of The Friends of Gibson Creek AND finally with Chelsea’s mentor Dan Resnick of the California Department of Fish and Game.
You can hear the water running under our feet and the snapping sounds of volunteers working to build a barrier made of willow branches to retain the cliff. We begin our conversation with Chelsea Neill explaining why this area was chosen for creek restoration.
The book Chelsea Neill recommends is “Deep Survival: Who Lives, Whjo Dies, and Why,” by Laurence Gonzales. An interview with Gonzales can be found on our website: www.radiocurious.org.
