As a result of the stream channelization, several problems have developed. The existing channel <br /> slopes are 1.5:1 which makes wildlife access very difficult and inhibits the growth of native vegeta- <br /> tion. A 2 ft. high head cut on the west fork of the creek has formed upstream of the channel, drop- <br /> ping the water table and altering the wetlands in the natural area that is managed by The Nature <br /> Conservancy. <br /> Project Goals <br /> This project provides and opportu- <br /> nity to implement important goals �c3'11 --� _� -- <br /> set forth in the West Eugene Wet - _ `�'� <br /> lands Plan. <br /> . *1 TH AV <br /> * Enhance and protect a . — <br /> corridor along Willow <br /> Creek that links Eugene's <br /> south hills uplands to the `�:Ic <br /> Amazon Creek wetlands P��o • 1 `. << <br /> system. , <br /> * Create open water wetland I <br /> habitat. it g <br /> 13 PRo1 <br /> FR POb6D • P F'E <br /> ViH WATER Z <br /> WIWLIP - � we*rt.A WWEAT -- <br /> * Protect wet prairie plant .
