General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This project implements a reach-scale restoration project to improve watershed health in response to climate change and past land use
practices. It will place large wood (whole trees) instream to improve adult and juvenile salmonid habitats by restoring reach-scale geomorphic processes, and improving thermal refugia areas. The project
uses two techniques to place whole trees in the SFTR: helicopter
placement of whole trees at strategic locations in a fifteen mile reach and a road-based mobile cable yarding system to tip whole trees into the river channel. Strategic placement of whole trees will help provide reach-scale thermal resiliency for wild spring-run Chinook to migrate through and hold in the SFTR, as well as promote the habitat complexity required by juvenile spring Chinook for successful rearing and emigration.
