The Lower Clear Creek Floodway Restoration Project (LCCFRP) is aimed at restoring the natural ecosystem processes within areas deteriorated by gold mining, gravel extractions, and dam operations. WSRCD is currently working to complete additional revegetation at the '3B' phase of the project, accessed via the BLM Gold Dredge Trailhead. The objective of this phase is to revegetate and irrigate the area, as well as provide site cleanup and removal of select non-native plants.
