Here Civilian Conservation Corps workers are installing rock riprap along the banks of Redwood Creek circa 1934 in Muir Woods. Note the lack of bank vegetation, truck on the bank, and machinery in the creek, all showing examples of the disturbance to the creek during this effort. Flows must have been diverted out of view in a pipe or drainage ditch. Photo provided courtesy of the National Park Service Archives.

This photo shows equipment in the streambed of Redwood Creek associated with a Civilian Conservation Corps stream bank stabilization project circa 1937. Members seem to be planting trees in association with rock work completed several years prior. Higher flows suggest that this photo was taken in winter or spring.
