The Mid Klamath Watershed Council coordinates volunteer
workdays to restore riparian areas after fish barrier removal
projects.
Riparian plants may need to be reestablished after road
decommissioning, floods, fires, timber harvest, and livestock use.
MKWC volunteers recently planted willows, alders, and conifers
from off-site nurseries at the mouths of Rodgers and Merril Creeks
where culverts were removed to allow fish passage.
In the future, MKWC aims to work with the US Forest Service and
the Karuk Tribe to assist in stabilizing stream crossings on
decommissioned road systems.
