A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
Since 2010 staff, faculty, and students associated with the Bucknell University Environmental Center, Bucknell Facilities, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have collaborated to restore the headwaters of Bucknell's campus stream, Miller Run.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
Upon completion of the project (projected spring 2015) the restored stream is expected to accommodate greater biodiversity, contribute less storm water runoff to the Susquehanna River, and facilitate greater groundwater recharge through the presence of newly constructed riparian wetlands. Measurements of these and other indicators are underway and ongoing by faculty and students associated with the project.
