Over summer 2024, SWEPS completed in-stream restoration on Bennery and Black Brooks, including five new digger logs, bank stabilization, and debris removal. Following major 2023 flooding, restoration crews also assessed fish passage impacts at Laurie and Annand Brooks. The season improved over 800m of stream habitat and 750m² of riparian zone, with support from volunteers, summer students, and project partners.
SWEPS volunteers returned to Black’s Brook on July 31 for a post-restoration cleanup. Teams worked to improve flow over digger logs and remove debris from the brook and surrounding area.
