Description    


Salmon habitat has been severely degraded by land-use activities, which has contributed to the listings of the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon, and Bull Trout under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The goal of this project is to enhance or restore stream and wetland habitats damaged by these past land-use actions. This project targets the enhancement of salmon habitat as covered by PL 106-553. The Pacific Salmon Treaty also calls for salmon enhancement for rebuilding native stocks. This project also continues a Tribal native plant nursery and plant salvage program started in 2001.

Accomplishments during this project period include plant care and propagation of cuttings, salvaged plants, and purchased plants. Current inventory totals approximately 3800 plants. Plants include Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, Red Elderberry, Nootka Rose, Mock Orange, Pacific willow, Nootka Rose, Cascara, Shore Pine, and Big Leaf Maple.and Indian plum. Plants purchased included, Mock Orange, Pacific willow, Nootka Rose, Cascara, Shore Pine, and Big Leaf Maple. During the first part of 2007 crews salvaged Vine Maple and Red Elderberry.

The nursery inventory was used to replant 200 feet of streambank along a Tributary to Coho Creek where instream structures were installed during October of 2005. Various tree species were used including Douglas Fir, Big Leaf Maple, Western Red Cedar, Red Elderberry, Shore Pine, and Hemlock. At other previous planting locations, where plant survival was reduced, the sites were augmented and improved (e.g. soil amended and dead plants replaced). The locations where this maintenance occurred covered an additional 250 feet. Species used in the planting efforts included Western Red Cedar, Red Elderberry, Nootka Rose, Mock Orange, Cascara, and Big Leaf Maple.






Project Benefit    


The benefits provided by the project include the enhancement and or restoration of stream, wetland and riparian zones, as well as the propagation and broadening the use of native vegetation that has cultural significance. Performance measure will be in the form of the annual progress reports. The report will include information on the number of plants salvaged, by species and amount of stream, wetland, and riparian area restored. These funds will be used to provide partial funding for tribal staff salaries, supplies and materials for plant maintenance, planting purposes, and stream restoration, and contractor time for stream restoration purposes. These funds will be used in concert with other grant sources to develop and implement stream, riparian, and wetland restoration actions on Coho Creek.
