Ablation of dams stimulates biodiversity on Salt Creek
The elimination of the Graue Mill dam in Salt Creek led to confirmed observations to Fullerberg Woods Forest Press at Oak Fish Brook swimming freely upstream in the stream.
The non -profit scientific organization Midwest Biodiversity Institute, which recently completed its first cycle of fish sampling after removing the dam, documenting eight species of native fish formerly only downstream. They include Emerald Shiner, Roseyfasc Shiner, Bass Bass, Blackside Darter, Northern Pike, Hornyhead Chub and Logperch.
The elimination of the dam was an aspect of the restoration of more than one mile of Salt Creek, thanks to a partnership between the Dubage River Salt Creek working group and the Forest Preserve Dupage district, mainly funded by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of the Grand Chicago.
“The fish that have been blocked by the dam is now moving freely, and the stream is on a solid restoration path,” noted Erik Neidy, director of natural resources in the district of forestry.
The work continues, while 50,000 traffic jams of native wetlands were added to the areas where the invasive plants had been removed. These plantations will support pollinators and will help stabilize the wetland. Finally, more than 15,000 other plugs and more than 350 trees and shrubs will be added to the reserve.
