Grave Creek Revegetation Techniques Successful!
In 2005 and 2006 the stream bank was restored with willow communities through the construction of bioengineered vegetated soil lifts and planting of containerized shrubs. 

Additional revegetation activities were done to enhance plating floodplain function to promote natural revegetation processes.  These activities included enhancement of floodplain features such as construction of floodplain swales and placement of woody debris on floodplain surfaces to provide the complexity and site conditions necessary to recruit and support native riparian vegetation naturally. 

The ongoing restoration work is supported by:  Flanagan Ranch; Friends of Grave Creek; Geum Consulting, Inc.; Kootenai River Network; Lincoln Conservation District; Montana Department of Environmental Quality; Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks; Natural Resources Conservation Service; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/Montana Partners for Fish and Wildlife.
