The project site is situated along Fishing Creek, the largest watershed in Columbia County, and a designated Coldwater Fishery with areas of naturally reproducing trout and stocked trout. It is a popular stream for recreation including swimming, kayaking, and fishing, and is utilized as a public drinking water supply for numerous communities, including the Town of Bloomsburg located downstream of this site. The Arconic Foundation contributed support the Columbia County Conservation District for the project’s streambank restoration, and educational signage that points out the life cycle and importance of watershed restoration.
