Project Overview
Basics
Butte Creek House Ecological Reserve Meadow Restoration and Forest Health Project
Implementation
The Butte Creek House Ecological Reserve is owned and managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The Project will restore approximately 110 acres within the 320-acre Reserve. The Project is
designed to enhance mountain meadow and riparian habitat within the Reserve and at the headwaters of Butte Creek. The Project will restore hydrological function and structural complexity to increase habitat diversity and resilience to climate change. To accomplish this, restoration activities will include the application of process-based and form-based restoration.
