The Asotin County Conservation District is sponsoring the Rattlesnake West Branch (1-2) Restoration Project to enhance fish habitat and riparian function. West Branch project areas 1 and 2 were identified in the Grande Ronde Conceptual Restoration Plan. This grant will target 0.7 miles of stream. The conceptual plan for WFRC 1 and WFRC 2 includes controlling invasive and upland vegetation encroachment, enhancing riparian habitat and add large woody debris to increase complexity, habitat structure, and promote floodplain inundation. This project will also eliminate the use of a ford crossing. Rattlesnake West Branch is listed as an MSA and Priority Protection Reach that flows into main stem Rattlesnake, which flows directly into the Grande Ronde River. The priority species that will benefit from the project is Snake River, Lower Grande Ronde steelhead.
