Description

Abstract: This report characterizes change in habitat conditions of restoration projects competed by Western Oregon Stream Restoration Program biologists. Typical restoration activities included the placement of large wood and/or boulders in stream channels, removal of culvert passage barriers, riparian planting, road decommissioning, and streamside fencing. Implementation occurred coast-wide and in the Willamette Valley, with an overall goal of enhancing aquatic habitat for salmonid species. This program works in cooperation with the Oregon Heritage Foundation, Oregon Department of Forestry, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, industrial and private landowners, and watershed councils. Projects that were implemented in 2000 and 2001 were monitored to assess baseline pre-treatment and one-year post-treatment conditions. Additionally, projects that were treated in 1995 were monitored in 1996 to assess one-year post-treatment conditions and in 2001 to assess six-year posttreatment conditions. The objectives of the monitoring program were to describe changes in channel morphology, channel unit composition, and structural complexity in the restoration project areas.
