HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, HABITATS AND SPECIES Conserve and Restore Salmonid Habitats and Ecosystems
Members of the Yager/Van Duzen Environmental Stewards (YES) initiated an ownership-wide assessment aimed at identifying controllable sources of road-related sediment. YES members include approximately 80,000 acres of non-industrial, private ranch lands in the Mid Domain of the Van Duzen River watershed. Approximately 420 miles of road were inventoried and a total of 1,020 sites were recommended for erosion control and/or erosion prevention treatment. This project implemented erosion control treatments which reduced sediment delivery. The project also built community trust and allowed for voluntary improvement of natural resources providing public benefit and prosperity for Humboldt County.
