PRINCIPALS

Rick Poore
Based in Mt. Shasta, in northern California, Rick has worked with a wide range of landowners and agency professionals to promote the use of natural stream form and function in restoration design. After several years of field research along Bear Creek and further education in geomorphology, Rick began Stream Wise to fill a need for science-based restoration design that mimics historic stable conditions.

Since 1997, Stream Wise has been working on numerous streams in northern California providing assessment, restoration design, project implementation, and monitoring. Most notably, the Bear Creek Meadow Restoration Project was completed in Nov. 1999.
