File upload: 
Abstract: 
Our project provides a combination of restoration and education by employing research in the science field. Specifically, our project creates a restoration plan that restores hydrologic functions to the historic watershed of McFarlan Creek while creating a functional athletic field and outdoor classroom for Catherine L. Zane Middle School’s students. We conducted field and historical research that included biological assessments along with habitat monitoring. During our project we also interviewed key individuals such as historians, engineers, and teachers so we could get a better outlook on the site location. We found that our proposed project is feasible along with the designs suggested for implementation.
Problem Statement: 
To create a restoration plan that restores hydrologic functions to the historic watershed of McFarlan Creek while creating a functional athletic field and outdoor classroom for Catherine L. Zane Middle School’s students.
