San Geronimo Creek: Restoring Coho Habitat
This Project has an Update in progress.
Project Overview
Basics
Planning/Design
This project includes two main objectives; to install critical coho salmon summer-winter habitat, addressing the key limiting factor for the watershed and to provide a demonstration restoration project that will build capacity for San Geronimo Valley residents wanting to conduct salmonid habitat enhancement. This will be carried out by the installation of large wood, rootwads, summer rearing pools 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).
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.
