Immediate threats to the creek’s trout population are increased water temperature, habitat degradation, and excessive sediment and nutrient loading. The Brown's Creek Watershed District partnered with the Wilson Golf Group, which owns and operates Oak Glen Golf Course and the 1,300 linear feet of creek that runs through it. Immeasurably aided by the course’s donation of an easement and a commitment to long-term maintenance from the course, the District & the Course completed a stunning transformation. The project was completed in 2012, converting 2.5 acres of irrigated turf grass, (mowed right to the water line) with a native buffer. The stream itself was reshaped to restore stream health to create floodplain and allow for a narrower and deeper stream that would stay cooler. These measures restored creek habitat, improved conditions for spawning and lowered the critical water temperature by six degrees – enough to make Brown's Creek again capable of maintaining trout populations. The restored creek also exposes golfers to a naturalized system without inhibiting play and uses educational signs to inform them of the environmental benefits of the work. Post-construction surveys in fall 2012 and 2013 have shown successful changes in the stream pools, reductions in temperature and improved perception of Brown's Creek by the golf course.
