-112cm of vegetated riverstone
-7 root wads
-750m2 of coir matting
-1665m2 of seed mix
-487 shrubs planted
-500sm3 of spoil pile removal
-300 native shrubs and trees planted by Central Manitoulin Public School
Mindemoya river

Providence Bay: Sites MIN 662-664

This year we worked again with landowner Jamie McDermid and managed to clear large log jams from the site prior to restoration. Jamie was kind enough to allow a school group to come help plant trees. We want to thank all volunteers that showed and Jamie for his volunteer time.

Completed:
-large log jam removal at 2 sites
-1205m2 of bank grading
-95cm of riverstone
-3 stone piles
-33 roots wads
-1125m2 of seed mix
-1025m2 of coir matting
-579 potted shrub plantings
-133 trees and shrubs planted


Kagawong river

Kagawong: Sites 160,169,170

In 2015 these sites underwent restoration. Due to many falling trees, huge log jams created water flow interruption and needed removal. This year, our staff along with two Sudbury youth ranger crews were able to remove these jams and remedy water flow damage and unblock salmon fall passage.
M'chigeeng creek
This year we continued to enhance this creek with the Lakeview Public School grade 8 class and two Sudbury Youth Ranger groups. Thank you to all volunteers that attended on both rainy days!

​Accomplishments this year;
-1180m of stream clean up; 2 trucks full
-log jam and beaver damn removal
-50 native trees planted
-2 wing deflectors installed
-15 yards (a dump truck full) of cobble mixture installed
-100m of instream habitat repaired

Smith's Bay creek
This year we assisted Wiikwemkoong in starting stream restorations. We had a community garbage cleanup and a tree plant to help secure the shoreline. A big thank you to Pontiac School, Wiikwemkong Highschool, Wiikwemkoong Land & Resources and Wiikwemkoong Tourism for helping out with the tree plant. Invertebrate sampling from Laurention University has taken place as part of a pre restoration.
