Description
On the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia, management efforts are reconnecting stream habitats, creating well-forested riparian areas, and providing complex in-stream habitat for fish and other aquatic species. These and other watershed restoration efforts will help improve watershed resiliency as temperatures increase in the region and as extreme events become more common.
