Description

CCC installed 88 pieces of large wood and roots in 33 features within 3,315 feet (0.63 miles) of Bear Gulch.

Project Benefit

The specific objective of this project is to improve the quality and quantity of spawning and rearing habitat for Coho Salmon by installing large wood in Bear Gulch. This project will result in a total of 34 large wood features consisting of 87 pieces of wood over 3,315 feet of stream, exceeding the Very Good category for large wood/mile frequency, as outlined in federal Coho recovery plans. The addition of appropriately sized wood to meet target criteria will enhance the quality, quantity, and complexity of spawning and rearing habitat for salmonids.
