We would like to thank all of our consultants who helped design the project and obtain the permits, so this project can go forward to implementation.  We appreciate the commitment of the Black Oak Ranch to conservation, which will continue on in this project.  ERRP is also restoring a near by eroding bank of Streeter Creek that will be repaired with funds from a separate grant.  We were saddened by the loss of bioengineer and BOR partner Evan Engber towards the end of the project, but is structures are still creating pools in lower Streeter Creek.
