2019 Project Sites
Grimesthorpe creek
Spring Bay: Sites S17, S18 and S19
By conducting restoration work on this site we protected 393 linear meters of stream
bank, 590m2 of in-stream habitat and 9432m2 of riparian habitat.
The following was installed:
Restoring these sites and installing protective fencing has allowed us to protect 1.17 km length of Grimesthorpe Creek. Restoring Sites S17, S18 and S19 has completed our work on Reach 29. In 2015 we completed site S15 and in 2017 we rehabilitated S16. This work will now provide continuous, undisturbed aquatic habitat.
Finishing this site will provide over 1.5 kilometers of continuous protected aquatic habitat on this portion of this Creek.

Shrigley creek
Poplar, Burpee Mills
This year Manitoulin Streams will be working with a landowner interested in restoring and enhancing some of the rainbow trout and salmon habitat on Shrigley Creek. Dave Holla from Holla Engineering & Environmental Inc. came out and surveyed the creek to create a site design to improve the fishery. Shrigley Creek was identified as one of our top 10 streams that would provide the best return with stream restoration and enhancement thereby increasing salmonid populations. Last summer we conducted stream invertebrate and fisheries assessments with Laurentian University and College Boreal at this site to gather baseline data.

Manitoulin Streams continued to work with the grade 8's from Lakeview School and volunteers to restore sections of M’Chigeeng Creek in September. They had some hands-on experience adding bio-engineering structures to the stream to enhance habitat. We also planted trees to combat climate change impacts and help with a stream cleanup.
This year's progress was a success thanks to Lakeview school and volunteers! Accomplished; 2 wing deflectors 50 trees planted Garbage clean up on 315 metres of the creek. |
