Diversion Ditches
In the upper Gulch, there are areas at the toe of the slope
where water seeps out and flows down the trail, impacting the
surface and causing erosion, and eventually carrying sediment
into the stream and wetlands.
With the help of the Boy Scouts, we* have created four diversion
ditches for the
collection of run-off water. These diversion
ditches, located at certain sections of the trail, make it
easier for people to walk through the watershed by cutting down
on the mud that accumulates on the trail.
The diversion ditches are created by laying a perforated pipe in
a ditch and allowing it to fill with water. The diversion
ditches will help to stop erosion and provide better
accessibility for visitors.
