The Klickitat Floodplain Restoration 2020 project is the final phase of riparian and in-stream restoration work along 8 miles of the Klickitat River, it's associated floodplain and tributary confluences. The Klickitat River is one of the longest free-flowing rivers in Washington supporting a large variety of fish and wildlife, including steelhead (summer and winter), chinook (spring and fall), coho, bull trout, lamprey, and others. The project reach contains among the most important habitat within the watershed for listed salmonids. The primary goal for this multi-phased project is to restore connectivity of riverine, floodplain, and hillslope processes, and the overall habitat structure and condition to the Klickitat River between river miles 19.0 and 31.6. Prior phases of work have incrementally removed road infrastructure, re-contoured the floodplain, reconnected side channels and wetlands, and initiated revegetation and weed control. This final phase of work will comprehensively, within all project phases and along adjacent shorelines, ensure the development of riparian vegetation by controlling and preventing weed invasions that threaten to impair riparian habitat development and associated fish habitat benefits.
