Fanno Creek has been adversely affected by development and the resulting runoff during heavy rains.
Intentional channel straightening, the loss of forest cover, and higher winter flows have caused the
channel to cut downward confining the stream within steep and eroding banks. This project will improve
the form and function of Fanno Creek. In addition to the channel improvements, wetlands and
habitat will be improved with native plants and logs for wildlife basking and cover.
The project start date has been pushed back to Summer 2014.
