Watershed Restoration
In-stream Habitat Restoration
Repair and restore a large failing stream bank on Santa Rosa Creek through channel re-alignment, floodplain reestablishment, and steelhead trout habitat construction. Currently the area to be restored is a threat to steelhead
spawning habitat and a large source of sediment deposition in Santa Rosa Creek. A massive failure of the stream bank would likely include Santa Rosa Creek Road falling into Santa Rosa Creek as channel erosion over the years
has significantly encroached on the road.
