Cooper Creek Stream Project – August 20, 2016<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here are\u00a0the details on the upcoming project on Cooper Creek.\u00a0 We will plan to meet on site at 9AM (directions are below) and do some much needed maintenance work on a number of existing stream structures.\u00a0 This will primarily involve the \u00a0refilling the log cribs with rock and removing branches and other debris that are impacting the structures.\u00a0 We won\u2019t be doing any placement of new logs for this workday so it should be a relatively easy morning. \u00a0Jim Wentworth, wildlife biologist with the Forest Service,\u00a0will bring a fish shocker and do a sampling demonstration at the end (11:30) so the scouts can see some of the fish species in Cooper Creek and learn how we sample streams.\u00a0 We will wrap up around 12-12:30 for lunch.<\/h3>\n

We will meet at a large roadside pull-off on Cooper Creek Road (FS 33).\u00a0 To reach the site, turn on Cooper Creek Road across from the entrance to Lake Winfield Scott on GA Highway 180 and go 5.5 miles to the meeting site.\u00a0 It is approximately \u00bd mile past a large camping area along the creek.<\/h3>\n

Please RSVP to Bill Egeland begeland@mastest.com\u00a0 if you plan on attending!<\/h3>\n

Thanks!<\/h4>\n
