Stream restoration

Stream restoration is a way of making rivers, streams, and creeks healthier and better for nature. Streams can get polluted and filled with things that don't belong in them, or parts of the stream may have washed away. Stream restoration helps fix these problems by doing things like cleaning up pollution, putting rocks and plants in the stream to prevent erosion, and building structures like bridges or dams to help control the flow of water. All of these things work together to make the stream look better, help plants and animals, and make the water safer for people to drink.
