The proposed action seeks to aid in the restoration of listed native salmon throughout the Methow River system through a series of targeted actions. These actions are designed to restore natural function and improve floodplain and side-channel habitats on participating private and public properties along the river from RM 45.5-49.1. Restoration sites may be within the active channel(s) of the Methow River or on upland areas adjacent to the active channel(s). Actions may occur on private, state, federal, or other ownership properties. To ensure long-term access and monitoring occurs, MSRF is actively seeking to work with landowners that have previously entered into conservation easements/agreements with other agencies and organizations or are willing to enter into agreements during the planning stage of this project. Some of the lands targeted are currently protected under a combination of landowner agreements, conservation easements, or other conservation restrictions established prior to and separate from this project. As part of this proposed action, landowner outreach will be conducted within the project area to identify landowner willingness and concerns. Landowner agreements will be prepared by MSRF, as the Project Sponsor, to ensure landowner concerns/responsibilities are fully addressed prior to initiating any actions on the affected properties. This proposal would seek to remove placed barriers (dikes, levees, and fill), address prior bank stabilizatio
