2019 Project Sites

Picture
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: 
  • Sixteen cubic meters of spawning gravel to improve spawning habitat
  • A low water crossing was created at S18 for machinery and livestock to cross.
  • 17 root wads installed
  • approx. 800 meters of fencing
  • 600 square meters of grass seed
  • 630 square meters of coconut coir matting
  • 419 shrubs planted by the contractor
  • 600 trees and shrubs planted by volunteers

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.

Michael's Bay: Site 17.3
This site washed out in previous years from high water levels. Restoration protected 35 linear meters of shoreline, 158m2 of in-stream habitat and 175m2 of riparian area.
We installed;
230 cublic meters of vegetated riverstone
10 roots wads, 2 stone piles for instream habitat
50 square meters of coconut coir matting
50 square meters of grass seed 
​ 154 trees and shrubs.

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.
