Dutchman Creek Relocation NES stream  and wetland restoration specialists teamed with Robert E. Lee and Associates engineers to design a stream relocation project in DePere, Wisconsin. This project involved the relocation of over 3000 feet of stream channel. Prior to restoration, the stream had been channelized and had eroded both vertically and horizontally (top). Dutchman Creek was moved and more complex hydrologic features were put in place to provide habitat for fish and wildlife. Over 6,000 dogwoods, willows and other tree species were planted in the riparian zone. Twelve large riffle-pool sequences (bottom) were installed to help provide habitat and prevent erosion during large events.
