DESCRIPTION
This project targets Large Woody Debris restoration in upper Morse Creek from the Four Seasons Park Development to the limits of accessible salmon habitat at the cascades. This reach contains the best existing habitat that provides the majority of spawning habitat for species such as pink, steelhead and coho salmon. However, the reach is chronically deficient in LWD. As a result, low and moderate gradient habitats within the reach are largely plain-bed channels, characterized by large substrate, and limited pool habitat. Large Woody Debris restoration has been proposed to slow stream velocities thereby increasing sediment (gravel) storage sites for spawning. Access is extremely limited in the reach and Large Woody Debris projects will likely have to use heavy lift helicopter techniques.
