Restoration Demonstration Progress

Restoration Demonstration Project:

The Riparian Stream Restoration Demonstration site is located along Geronimo Creek at the Irma Lewis Seguin Outdoor Learning Center in Seguin, Texas. The perennial creek is fed by natural springs and a tributary named Alligator Creek. Two 100 foot sections were selected along the creek that showed moderate erosion along the streambanks. The upstream section was selected for restoration of native vegetation. The downstream section was selected as the control site which will not undergo restoration.

On March 21, 2018 our team and volunteers from the local Master Naturalist and Master Gardeners planted over half of the native riparian vegetation at the restoration site. A second planting day occurred on April 7, which included our team and another group of volunteers associated with the Geronimo Creek Stream Cleanup helped plant the remaining vegetation. We are taking photos to track the progress over time at both the control and restored sites.
