The Nature Conservancy is requesting funds for the Hurst Creek Habitat Restoration Pilot Project which is an in-stream habitat restoration project. The project is located in Hurst Creek, a major low-gradient tributary of the Clearwater River, Jefferson County, within The Nature Conservancy' s 3,088 acre Clearwater Preserve. The goals of this project are to (1) restore physical and ecological processes associated with the formation of complex in-stream habitat in Hurst Creek, benefitting Clearwater coho and winter steelhead; and (2) increase Clearwater coho salmon productivity by improving the quality and quantity of coho rearing habitat in Hurst Creek. The project will enhance approximately 0.11 miles of in-stream habitat through the addition of large wood. The outcomes of the project will be used to demonstrate the efficacy of the restoration approach for future restoration phases in Hurst Creek as well as in streams of similar condition, thus functioning to inform future restoration efforts and reduce restoration costs.
