Degraded Channel and Riparian Areas
Degraded Channel Structure and Complexity
Improve instream and riparian conditions along 1924-feet of stream channel in an unnamed tributary to upper Abernethy Creek. Extensive blackberry coverage risks compromising the remaining riparian area as it spreads along the stream channel. Cool water temperatures in summer can be protected and even improved through the removal of invasive blackberry, maintenance of the invasive vegetation removed, and planting of appropriate riparian plants/trees for the area.
