SAND CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT
Dorothy Martinis (Jaffray, BC)
$15,720.00

The project will help to restore fish habitat lost as a result of historic flood control practices along the Martinis property for a distance of about 100 meters and will help to restore habitat for cutthroat trout and bull trout that are both regionally important fish species. A large scale habtiat restoration and landowner education project has been occuring on Sand Creek by the Lower Sand Creek Restoration Group since 2000 and the benefits have been reduced erosion and a change in land management practices by landowners. The project will utilize experts in hydrology and fish habitat restoration. Placement of rootwads, logs and boulders to create in-stream habitat and the stream banks along the property will be sloped to a more natural condition and planted with native shrubs, trees and grasses.
