Description    


This project will treat 4,655 feet (~0.9 miles) of high-priority Coho Salmon recovery habitat in Tom Bell Creek and the mainstem Albion River with 117 pieces of large wood at 43 distinct structure/feature locations. This project will increase the quantity and quality of instream habitat within the project area, and will restore geomorphic function by increasing pool frequency and depth, increasing the availability of velocity and temperature refugia habitat, and sorting instream sediments.

Project Benefit    


This project will increase stream habitat complexity, pool frequency, pool depth, high-flow refugia, and over-summer rearing habitat for Coho Salmon, Steelhead Trout, and Chinook Salmon.
