Floodplain Restoration Design

I finally got buy-off and support to proceed with designing a restoration project in the Applegate River's floodplain at the Provolt Seed Orchard.  So I headed out with my intern from SOU, Collier, and also Jakob and Julie from the Applegate Partnership and Watershed Council.  We got Collier keyed in to a few concepts of restoration design and he designed the rest of the project under our advisement.






The project will focus on stabilizing a floodplain during winter flows which in turn will provide for winter refugia for juvenile salmonids.  Additionally, at least one site will work to enhance mainstem spawning habitat for adult Chinook Salmon.
