Saul Habitat Restoration (2023)
About Sauls Creek Restoration
The project is intended to reduce erosion and sediment deposition, restore bank stability, and improve fish habitat for spawning and juvenile rearing conditions for salmonid and other fish species. Eroding banks around will be protected with a combination of strategically placed rock spurs, rip-rap, Large-woody debris (LWD), and a variety of bio-engineering techniques to enhance immediate and long-term protections of eroding banks. Bio engineering techniques will include live bank and wattle fence construction, live willow staking and Beaver Dam Analogues (BDA’s). Large-woody debris will not only be placed to bolster erosion protection efforts, but to add habitat enhancements for juvenile and adult fish by to providing cover, and habitat diversity/complexity. Willow planting and conifer planting will also be conducted along banks to enhance long term bank stability within the project area.
