Abstract
The Soque Watershed Partnership in Habersham County, Georgia implemented a natural channel design streambank restoration project at the farm of Lamar Whiting in Clarkesville, Georgia. The project included the reestablishment of a flood plan, a riparian vegetation planting, stream crossing and fencing. The project rehabilitated 500 linear feet of severely impaired streambank to a fully restored riparian buffer area during the summer of 2011. The presentation will highlight the project and it's partners from start to finish.
