Another great week for the Chamberland Crew at Dawson Lake. Despite 3 days of snow and rain, lots was accomplished and steady progress was made. See more info below.

{above} The lower portion of the wetlands created in the old field area. The areas holding water were designed to do so to meet the Army Corp of Engineers wetland habitat requirements. The Red Wing Blackbirds and Spring Peepers flourish in this habitat.
{above} The downstream Weir that Bob designed at the stream outlet of the wetlands using native sandstone from the Muddy Creek Mountain Rock Quarry.
{above} A large pile of stumps in that Bob saved and plans to use in the lake bottom to create a great habitat for the fish to thrive in.
{above & below} The upper wetlands area that were created. Note how the original stream bed has been redesigned to meander back and forth across the area to create the wetland.
