Description

This project is the construction of 61 large wood (LW) features containing a total of 162 pieces of LW. Most of the logs for the project will be sourced from the riparian zone, some will be purchased; all the logs will be redwood and Douglas fir. The project is along 2.0 miles of Sproul Creek, and once complete will contain 75 key pieces. This project will provide habitat to Coho, Chinook and steelhead. Additionally, 400 conifer seedlings will be planted along the project reach.

Project Benefit

This project will benefit salmonids by increasing the availability of velocity refugia, increasing instream and off channel shelter, and by improving spawning substrate availability.
