Habitat Work Schedule Map of Site
Observations of site: Beaver activity is affecting planting and ultimately anticipated to affect hydrology A portion of the site will be retained as a hay field leased by the land trust, exemplifying a multiple benefits approach to private conservation. Diffferent project phases and awards make tracking site activity through grant contract records very difficult. The following phases have occured: Acquisition (SRFB/WLT) Channel remeander (trib to Landingstrip/USFWS) Channel enhancement with LWD NRCS/CREP plantings (along river and Landingstrip) Channel remeander (railroad tributary/NOAA)
