This project's goal is to steward plantings in order to restore the riparian functions and meet an 80% survival rate that create high quality salmonid habitat including LWD recruitment, streambank stability, and stream shading. In order to meet an 80 percent survival rate for our riparian plantings, HCSEG is proposing the Hood Canal Summer Chum Riparian Stewardship Project. The purpose of this project is to guarantee the success of existing summer chum riparian plantings completed by HCSEG and CWMA partners through supplemental plantings, integrated weed management on planting sites in the pre-establishment phase (first 3-5 years), and controlling noxious and invasive weeds that are directly in the restoration site or are a potential source of renewed infestations in the future.Supplemental plantings will provide immediate conifer recruitment and future LWD debris recruitment into the stream channel and forest floor. Plantings also increase species diversity, provide bank stability through increased channel roughness and physical root structure support, and provide shade for streams.
