The Easement Property will provide riparian buffer for streams from surrounding agricultural and development activities, habitat for local wildlife and aquatic life, and improve water transport in a non-erosive manner.

The clear and cold waters of Jackson Creek now flow over pools, riffles, and organic substrate that improve in-stream habitat, increase oxygen levels, and help regulate water temperatures.
