Approach
Increase habitat resilience by reducing threats from roads and infrastructure in the floodplain
Tactics
- Designate and restore natural floodplain boundaries
- Increase floodplain habitat
- Remove infrastructure from floodplains
- Disconnect roads from streams
- Reduce road density near streams
- Increase culvert capacity
- Reduce flashiness of peak flows
- Increase side channel habitat and increase large wood for parr winter survival
