Forest Service begins restoration work on Angora Creek

Two miles of the Angora Creek area is getting post-fire restoration work by the U.S. Forest Service over the next two months.

The project is needed on the area after the 2007 Angora Fire to prevent future channel erosion and to improve the aquatic habitat for fish and amphibians. To accomplish this they will strategically place downed logs.

Project work on these small channels will be completed by hand crews using dead and downed logs from the adjacent forest to replace logs that were lost next to the creek during the fire. No heavy equipment will be used, but chainsaw work will occur where needed. No live trees will be cut. Work is expected to be finished by the end of September 2014.
