Description

The project constructed 3 main channel instream wood structures, one side floodplain side channel with wood features, pool creation, spawning gravel introduction and riparian plantings.

Project Benefit

Large woody debris structure and gravel augmentation will enhance spawning and rearing habitats by providing cover, increasing pool complexity, depth and frequency as well as sorting and collecting spawning gravels.
