Watershed Restoration
In-stream Habitat Restoration
The primary objective for this project is to remediate two of three limiting factors described in the 2002 DFG Tannery Creek Stream Inventory Report: low number of deep pools, and low instream shelter value. The project was designed to increase habitat complexity and cover in Tannery Creek by felling mature conifers adjacent to the channel and positioning them in the creek to develop new pools, enhance existing pools, retain spawning gravel, and provide instream cover and high-flow refugia. This project placed 17 dropped trees into the Tannery Creek channel in a manner that mimics natural wood recruitment.
