The intent of the Woods Creek Reach 10 Restoration project is to stabilize approximately 1,817 linear feet of Woods Creek and improve the adjacent wetlands back to their native conditions. The general scope of work required will consist of:

• The removal of non-native vegetation
• Streambank restoration
• Tree removal
• Seeding of native vegetation
• Installation of toe slope protection
• Stream bank grading along Woods Creek

Two open house meetings were held (August 22nd and August 27th) to discuss the project in more detail. The presentation materials from the open houses are available for viewing at the bottom of this page and provide additional information on the project.

Please note that all work will be performed within the Village right-of-way. If you have any type of existing features within the Village right-of-way area (i.e. sprinkler system, landscape features, fire pits, electronic “invisible” dog fence, etc.), precautions should be taken by you, the property owner, to remove these items to prevent damage to them during construction. The Village will not repair or replace private property left within the Village right-of-way.
