These structures are made from large cut tree logs that are 6 anchored into the side slopes and/or stream to stabilize eroding areas. Fill is placed behind these anchored logs then covered with special fabric matting followed by planting native species. • Protect eroding ravine side slopes using deflection structures i.e. ravine bottoms in selected location to direct flow into historic channel to stabilize eroded areas

About 9 acres of beach, dune, ravine and Restoration bluff habitats along Lake Michigan were restored. 1. The ravine stream was daylighted through removal of a culvert in the parking lot and connectedness to Lake Michigan was restored to allow fish to move freely to habitat upstream of the parking lot which was already in exemplary condition. 14 2. A robust native planting and establsihment plan will be implemented over the next 2 years. This type of restored ravine would provide a source for rare and sensitve ravine plant species and provide exemplary habitat for macroinvertebrates, amphibians, reptiles and migratory birds.
