The project aims to mitigate past land use impacts to stream health and function by installing structures that would restore the floodplain connection and mimick the natural driving forces of riparian vegetation and beavers.
Location
Approximately 3 miles northeast of Buena Vista off NFSR on Fourmile Creek upstream and downstream of NFSR 375a and Sevenmile Creek near NFSR 376.
