A creek corridor is the transitional zone where land and stream come together. The land and riparian vegetation or plants that live along a waterway form the creek corridor and create a vegetative buffer strip along the stream. This buffer strip is essential to the health of the stream as it absorbs runoff, reduces erosion, filters out pollutants, shades the stream and provides food and habitat for a number of terrestrial and aquatic species.
