Approach
Increase habitat resilience by restoring structure and function of streams, riparian areas, and wetlands.
Tactics
- Manage livestock grazing to restore ecological function of riparian vegetation and maintain streambank conditions.
- Maintain large wood in forested riparian areas for shade and recruitment.
- Reconnect floodplains and side channels to improve hyporheic and baseflow conditions.
