My dream house would have a moat around it and a basement with windows that look into the moat. But this house has a real creek that runs through it and it’s filled with a huge variety of fauna, common and rare. I had the unique opportunity to be invited to see the work they are doing. Mills have traditionally been built alongside creeks so that they could harness the power of water. This had previously caused disruption to the ecosystem and caused blockage to the arteries of the delicate tributary ecosystem. Jim and Sandra Tripp have been fortunate enough to be guardians of this mill house by the creek and have put in their heart and soul into reversing the damage that had been done to the critters that depend on this waterway. This tributary is vital breeding ground to a huge range of aquatic animals who in turn provide food for aquatic, terrestrial and aerial animals.
