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)
