Willow Creek Large Wood Recruitment Project

Completed
This project is designed to improve instream habitat for coho salmon and steelhead by increasing stream channel complexity through the addition of large wood. A total of 120 pieces of wood were placed at 52 sites along approximately 2.75 miles of the mainstem of Willow Creek, in western Sonoma County, CA.
