Basics

Watershed Restoration
In-stream Habitat Restoration
San Geronimo Valley Landowner Assistance Program- Restoring Coho Habitat

Planning/Design
This project includes two main objectives; to provide a demonstration
restoration project to build capacity for San Geronimo Valley residents
wanting to conduct salmonid habitat enhancement and to install critical
coho salmon summer-winter habitat, addressing the key limiting factor
for the watershed. This will be carried out by the installation of large
wood, rootwads, inset floodplains, an alcove and the overall
enhancement of the riparian corridor via erosion control and native
plantings.

Project Themes

Project Themes

The addition of native riparian vegetation will capture and reduce CO2 in atmosphere.
I will use the project site for tours when teaching about the various aspects of restoration.
The project addresses limiting factor(s) for salmonid survival in the Lagunitas Creek watershed (winter/high flow refugia).
Slowing the flow and activating the floodplain at lower discharges can allow for increased groundwater recharge in the floodplain area.
The project will include non-native invasive vegetation removal coupled with erosion control BMPs and native revegetation practices. As well, overall erosion control and willow staking (soil bioengineering practices) will be implemented to reduce fine sediment from entering the waterway, impairing water quality.
