Category Category: Restoration
DESCRIPTION
The project will create a riparian buffer between a county road and three large ponds, increase pond shading to mitigate solar gain and reduce water temperatures through riparian plantings, and increase habitat complexity and diversity for juvenile salmonids at an off-channel site in lower Twisp River between river miles 1.0-1.5. The project site is located at Methow Salmon Recovery Foundation?s Twisp Ponds restoration site, an off- channel system consisting of five ponds and channels, which provides high quality spawning and rearing habitat for UCR spring chinook, UCR steelhead, and other species.
