DESCRIPTION
Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group and the Naches Ranger District propose placement of approximately 250-300 trees into tributary streams of the Little Naches River to improve spawning/rearing habitat for steelhead trout and Chinook salmon, and migratory/foraging habitat for bull trout. Approximately 2.5 miles of stream within Crow Creek and Quartz Creek would be treated. The proposed work would involve using hand crews to fell live trees up to 15 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) that are within 300 feet of the streams. The trees would be yarded for placement within stream channels and floodplains, using a variety of hand tools, jacks, winches, cable pulley systems, or mid-size machinery. Where feasible access allows, an all-terrain mobile walking excavator or similar machinery may be used for moving, winching, and cable yarding trees from the cutting areas for placement into stream channels. Standing dead trees > 15" DBH that could be directly felled into the floodplains of Crow or Quartz Creek may also be cut. Addition of large wood to the stream systems is expected to increase pool frequency and floodplain connection, and to trap spawning gravels.
