Remund Fencing and Revegetation
Background:
Lincoln Creek is home to native Cutthroat trout
and thousands of Coho salmon that return to spawn each year. Searun
Cutthroat and Steelhead utilize portions of the creek for habitat at various
stages of life. This project’s accomplishments for protection of habitat
benefit all of the above named fish.
Accomplishments:
In 2002, this project addressed
sedimentation and water temperatures on Lincoln Creek, (a tributary to the
Chehalis River) and completed 34,000 feet of streamside livestock fencing,
stream revegetation and four livestock hard crossings.
Monitoring
of this project revealed that the previous design of the hard crossings had failed. An agreement was made with the landowner to correct
one hard crossing. Currently the newly installed hard
crossing is functioning properly.
