Activities which improve riparian conditions by installing streamside fencing, off channek livestock watering stations, replanting of riparian forests, and applying erosion control measures using bio-engineering techniques to reduce nonpoint souce pollution (thermal & sediment) and increase salmon & wildlife habitat opportunities. In addition we will continue to conduct photo point monitoring and annual inspections to determine project effectiveness. Grant 000451000 Project 27
