The document summarizes the efforts of the Friends of Alum Creek & Tributaries organization to remove two lowhead dams on Alum Creek in Ohio. The group successfully breached the Academy-Wolfe Park dam in 2007 and the Nelson Park dam in 2008, restoring over two miles of free-flowing creek habitat. Since removing the dams, the group has planted over 5,000 linear feet of native plants along the creek banks and removed 82 tires during clean ups, allowing wildlife like snakes and salamanders to thrive once more in the improved habitat.
