Description
This project was completed under budget. This project treated 4.3 acres of riparian habitat; removed 120 tons non-native invasive plants in the riparian corridor and over 4,700 pounds of trash and debris were collected and disposed of; revegetated and restored the creek with native plants—approximately 2,060 plants and several hundred willow and mulefat cuttings were planted throughout the site; restored approximately 1.1 miles of stream (approx. 4 acres)— enhancing the Stewart Canyon Creek and adjoining ecosystem as well as improved passage and breeding potential for endangered aquatic species, such as southern steelhead trout and California red-legged frog. This project restored the riparian ecosystem of the lower Stewart Canyon Creek, starting at Fox Canyon Barranca and continuing to its confluence with San Antonio Creek.
Project Benefit
