Document Description
The primary purpose of the Leland Watershed Improvement Project is to restore hydrologic function in degraded meadows, and to reduce erosion and sedimentation. Fiddlers Green Meadow has been degraded by a gully that is continually eroding. The lowering of the streambed has caused the water table in the meadow to drop. This has reduced water availability to native herbaceous and riparian vegetation, making it easier for non-native invasive species to establish. This project would return the eroded gully to a meandering channel and would replant the area with native vegetation.
