Description

Grantee added 46 wood structures over 0.27 miles by felling 60 streamside trees into the creek. The project also stabilized an 800 cubic yards of historic landslide debris that blocked the creek. The removal of the blockage increased salmoid access to 0.79 miles of instream habitat and prevented approximately 250 cubic yard of sediment from entering the channel.

Project Benefit

Habitat complexity through installation of LWD structures and removal of a landslide barrier to fish migration.
