Project Overview
Basics
Caltrans/Robinson Creek Riparian Planting Phase III Project
Completed
In 2011 the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District was contracted by Caltrans to implement riparian revegetation and invasives removal on 1.8 acres along Robinson and Anderson Creeks as mitigation impacts related to culvert upgrades being implemented along California State Highways 253 and 128 . Three properties were planted in March 2012, with another two properties planted in 2013 and a final property in 2014. The Project was completed in 2019.

360 California native trees and shrubs planted will sequester carbon, and slow, spread and sink the water along the riparian, creating shade and cooling water temps, increasing drought and flood resiliency in Robinson Creek.
Two intepretive panels were installed in project areas that have public access; Mendocino County Fairgrounds and Anderson Valley Elementary School
Robinson Creek supports steelhead trout, listed as Federally threatened species, providing spawning and juvenile rearing habitat.
Riparian Forest, stabilizing stream banks and providing much needed shade to instream flow, creating habitat for birds, insects and multiple riparian species
Having vegetated stream banks, slows the flow and allows the water to sink in recharging the groundwater table.
1.8 acres of riparian habitat was restored in this project, contributing to watershed health in Robinson Creek, tributary to Anderson Creek and the Navarro River
