The Big Thompson Watershed Coalition and the Forest Service propose to improve water quality, protect downstream infrastructure, and promote channel resiliency following the 2020 Cameron Peak Fire on Sheep Creek, a tributary to the Big Thompson River
Location
The proposed project is on the north fork of Sheep Creek and Fish Creek both of which flow northeast into Buckhorn Creek along Larimer Co Rd 44H before eventually entering the Big Thompson River.
