Tillicum Creek Fence Project is located in the Mad River drainage of the Entiat sub-basin and benefits Upper Columbia steelhead, spring Chinook, Bull trout and west slope cutthroat trout.

The primary objective of the Tillicum Creek Fence project is to restore degraded riparian and stream channel areas while
continuing to provide grazing opportunities to authorized grazing permit holders. Livestock exclusion fencing helps to restore habitat necessary for sustaining salmonids at critical life history stages of spawning, rearing and migration and restore properly functioning riparian and channel conditions in Tillicum Creek.

The Tillicum Creek Fence project excludes livestock from those portions of Tillicum and Indian Creeks that are immediately adjacent to temporary livestock handling locations. The fencing protects approximately 0.7 miles of streambank and riparian vegetation along steelhead spawning areas, as well as protects newly restored 750 linear feet along Tillicum
Creek and 250 linear feet along Indian Creek to the confluence of Tillicum Creek. Plantings that occurred along these creeks in fall 2010 restored nearly 0.8 acres of native trees, shrubs and grasses.
