DESCRIPTION
This project will restore degraded portions of the riparian zone along over two miles of Ohop Creek between river mile 4 and Ohop Lake by revegetating the valley floor with native trees and shrubs, along with identifying areas of poor survivability in Phases I, II, and III of the Lower Ohop restoration. Activities include: identification of willing landowners, individual site assessments, development of restoration plans, control of invasive species and valley floor revegetation. Cleared areas and those showing poor survival will be replanted. Secondary deciduous floodplain forests will be underplanted with native conifer species to provide a sustainable source of LWD. Restoration planning will include additional recommendations for habitat enhancement. This project will connect with the Lower Ohop Valley Restoration Project - Phases I, II and III in an attempt to provide an extended habitat corridor.
