June 2019-April 2020#
In order to address key limiting factors for salmonids, this restoration improved and enhanced fish and wildlife habitat along a quarter of mile section of North Scappoose Creek. Improvements to the physical habitat quality and complexity included installing large wood within the stream bank, laying back a short section of the stream bank, and adding a significant amount of native riparian vegetation.#
Project Goals#
The project goals were to:
- Enhance fish habitat and in-stream channel complexity
- Increase native vegetation and diversity along riparian corridor to reduce streambank erosion, increase stream shading, and support future large wood availability
Location#
Project activities occurred primarily on the left (north) bank of North Scappoose Creek between Hwy 30 and Scappoose-Vernonia Road.
Timeline#
- Project construction: June 2019 – September 2019
- Riparian planting: October 2019 – April 2020
