Riparian habitats are the most fundamental building block for protecting aquatic freshwater and marine ecosystems and the species that depend on them. Virtually all watershed assessments and species recovery plans from landscape to reach to watershed scales call for improving riparian habitat quality/quantity and reducing their increasing fragmentation. The primary objectives are: 1. Improve the quantity and quality of riparian areas 2. Move riparian areas toward a later seral stage. This project helped to fund one Washington State Conservation Corps (WCC) crew for four years to implement the project scope. Additional private contractors were hired to perform some of the tasks when necessary. The tasks of the project scope included: 1) site preparation for planting; 2) riparian planting; 3) planting maintenance; and 4) invasive vegetation inventory and control.
