Watershed Restoration
In-stream Habitat Restoration
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.
