Snakeden Restoration

Snakeden Restoration In Process
When we mess with the natural flows within a watershed we sometimes have to go repair the damage. Snakeden Creek is such a site and I’m proud that Reston cares enough to make things right.

We live on Lake Audubon in Reston and the creek which feeds it has been undergoing restoration for months. As construction makes its way to the mouth of the creek, it’s fun to watch the progress. What you’ll see in these pictures are two stages of process. Once the work is done and nature grows back, it’s a wonderful outcome. Much of the damage done by development will have been repaired, the creek will become healthy, and sediment will no longer fill our lake.

The following seven picture were taken from the vantage points indicated below. In the top three you can see some completed work with a little of the vegetation coming back. The last four are work-in-progress where you can see the damaged banks of the creek and can assess how big a construction job the effort restoration is.

It’s worthwhile. Reston is all about living in a healthy natural environment.
