The article discusses the restoration of 1,600 feet of Bushkill Creek using natural design techniques like native plantings, root wads, and woven branch mats to enhance streambank stability, habitat, and floodplain absorption. It also involved constructing a rebuilt creek channel and public access points for safe recreation. DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn emphasized the project’s importance for resilience against severe weather and for promoting environmental education and recreation. Started in December, it improved access along the lower Henry’s Woods Trail and was managed by Markosky Engineering and the Aquatic Resource Restoration Company. The Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center offers diverse programs on its expansive grounds.
