This project will restore floodplain connectivity, salmonid spawning and rearing habitat, and riparian vegetation in the Moon Valley Reach of the Big Quilcene River. Restoration in this reach will improve downstream hydrologic, geomorphic, and habitat conditions by slowing the flow of the river and providing space for sediment deposition and storage. The final project will include recreational access for fishing and wildlife viewing within a restored riparian landscape. The overarching goals of this project are to (1) restore floodplain processes in the Moon Valley reach, with positive effects moving downstream including regulation of sediment transport and improved flood resilience, and (2) restore spawning and rearing habitat for juvenile salmonids. The project has multiple objectives to address these goals: to increase stream length and decrease the gradient; create or promote the formation of slow spots including pools, backwaters, and side channels; increase sediment storage capacity and re-activate the floodplain; convert agricultural land to a complex riparian zone featuring forested wetlands and vegetated stream banks; and improve public access for fishing and wildlife viewing.
