• This project will continue to enhance fish and wildlife habitat and will benefit a variety of species such as:
- bull trout
- upland sandpiper
- redband trout

Subbasin Needs and Limiting Factors
• Restore anadromous and resident fish to their historic habitats.
• Restore migration routes and connectivity on now isolated populations of bull trout and redband trout.
• Improve meadow habitats through disturbance, water distribution, and other means.

• Improve water quality, with emphasis on reducing summer stream temperature.
• Protect and restore riparian zones from excessive livestock grazing.
• Conduct habitat restoration studies and projects to address
riparian habitat, flow
issues, and water
quality problems.
