Why doesnt the City remove natural debris from the creeks?
Natural debris in the creekbranches, logs, and root wadscreates food and shelter for fish and wildlife. This woody debris may need to be repositioned, removed or partially removed if it threatens life or property. However, because removing woody debris can alter or even harm fish and wildlife habitat, it is important to observe a situation before taking action. Removal of natural vegetation and alteration of the creek channel may lead to erosion problems on banks that were once considered stable.
