Category Category: Restoration
DESCRIPTION
The goal of this project is to determine the amount of potential habitat that could support dam building beavers in the Tucannon watershed with a focus on Pataha Creek, conduct a trial of building beaver dam support (BDS) structures to improve the habitat diversity, reduce incision, and reconnect the floodplain in the lower reaches of Pataha Creek, and develop a comprehensive plan for further implementation of this restoration method with a possible larger implementation in 2016-2017. This project would take place on a single landowners property in the lower reaches of Pataha Creek and could help to restore more ecological based stream processes that are promoted by beavers (e.g., increased aggradation, reduced sediment and erosion, increased habitat diversity) and demonstrate a cost effective restoration method that may be applicable to many areas in southeast Washington. The target species are Snake River ESU steelhead with potential benefits for chinook and bull trout.
