Rabbit River Streambank Restoration Site CMI#9

This rock rip-rap stream restoration project in Salem Township was a Clean Michigan Iniative Project. The Project was coordinated by the Allegan Conservation and Kalamazoo Conservation District in partnership with the Allegan County Road Commission. Over 300 feet of streambank was armored and protected using rock rip-rap and a small section of stream was left in a more natural state using a tree revetment. Special thanks to Bill Nelson and Georganne for their time and patience during the Project duration.
