Rouge River in Troy, MI
Project started in July 2015.
This section of the Rouge River was eroding the shoreline and significant numbers of invasives
species were present. A lot of the property needed to be graded to re-establish a flood plain
zone. A vane was installed upstream to protect shoreline and modify the river flow into a new
riffle. Soil lifts and rip rap were also used to stabilize the river banks. A cover crop was planted
to prevent initial erosion and then native wild flower seeds were sowed and many grasses and
forb plugs were planted to create a bio-diverse habitat.
