OSA MEADOW RESTORATION PROJECT
The Osa Meadow Restoration Project proposes three activities: gully elimination using the pond-and-plug technique, incorporating whole trees into the meadow channel and ponds, and staging and installing a rock/vegetation valley grade feature at the lower end of the meadow. These measures would be taken to address the need to restore the natural meadow and stream water table, stream channel characteristics, and vegetation components.
