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)
