Description

CCC constructed 38 total features within 5440 feet of East Branch NF Big River including 97 pieces of large wood combined with small woody debris.

Project Benefit

The addition of these large wood structures will enhance spawning and rearing habitats by providing cover, increasing pool depth, frequency and complexity, sorting and collecting spawning gravels, and by providing velocity refuge during peak winter flows for juvenile salmonids and migrating adult salmonids.
