Stream project receives Urban Forest award

Forsyth County’s first stream restoration project has received the 2012 Outstanding New Initiative Grand Award by the Georgia Urban Forest Council. The stream restoration project, completed in May, is located in Midway Park.

The work was designed to improve overall downstream watershed conditions by stabilizing and restoring approximately 1,000 feet of degraded stream bank, using natural channel design methods.

The project was supported by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant administered by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.
