Project Description

The Kiap-TU-Wish Chapter of Trout Unlimited of Prescott, Wisconsin was awarded $15,000 for a stream restoration effort on a 1,750ft section of Cady Creek. Cady Creek, home to a genetically native and diverse brook trout population, is one of the last remaining native brook trout streams in Pierce County.

The project site suffered from severe bank erosion, sedimentation and subsequent habitat degradation. Kiap-TU-Wish volunteers and heavy equipment operators from the Wisconsin DNR will grade banks and install rock to decrease erosion and narrow the stream channel to a more original state.
