Students in the WSU School of Design and Construction, in collaboration with several Walla Walla community members, have created the plan for ecological restoration and urban design of a two-mile section of Mill Creek. Ideas include: multi-use recreational paths and bridges; educational opportunities that highlight stream restoration and management; and parks, plazas and promenades linking the community with this water resource.
