Dutch Creek Restoration Project VIDEO

Trinity River, CA, has just released this amazing video named Trinity River Restoration Program – Dutch Creek Restoration Project’.

The project purpose is to increase salmon and steelhead habitat downstream of Lewiston Dam, as described in the December 19, 2000, Record of Decision for the Trinity River Mainstem Fishery Restoration Environmental Impact Statement.

The proposed project is designed to enhance both terrestrial and aquatic habitat quality.

In-river work will increase habitat complexity via construction of slow water refuge habitats (e.g., side channels), reconnection of the floodplain to the river, and placement of in-river geomorphic and habitat features (e.g., rock and wood structures).

On-shore work will include revegetation of riverine and upland areas with native vegetation.
