Friday evening the last piece of culvert was removed from San Vicente Creek under the new 90 Bridge and she breathed a sigh of relief and Theo screamed "Freeeeeedom". Earlier in the day he and Van Clothier, both of Stream Dynamics had planted about 35 Coyote Willows deep in the right bank as seen from this downstream position. In the lower right can be seen another, yet to planted, pile of Coyote Willows, a Black Willow and 8 Cottonwood starts. The Cottonwoods will not be planted directly under the bridge but upstream and downstream from the bridge.
On the left bank can be seen the pile of quite damaged culvert that were removed and Saturday an IHC worker used the excavator to flatten and fold them them in preparation for recycling.
Much work is still to be done on the left bank so the creek may be more meandering. The old trailhead sign has been hauled out of storage and stands nearby ready to be reinstalled.
