Camp Creek Planting
Project Overview
Basics
Camp Creek Planting
Post-Implementation
The MFJDR IMW Final Summary Report demonstrated that high water temperatures are the most important habitat limiting factor in ESA listed Mid-C summer steelhead and spring Chinook salmon productivity in the MFJDR, perennial tributaries are the primary contributors for cool water. Camp Creek provides important rearing habitat for juvenile steelhead and Chinook salmon as well as spawning habitat for steelhead. This planting and fencing project on Camp Creek will bolster the cold water refugia potential of Camp Creek by increasing streambank shading and plant density in thermally sensitive areas.

Focal Species
Camp Creek provides important rearing habitat for Mid-Columbia steelhead, as well as spawning grounds.
Camp Creek provides important rearing habitat for mid-Columbia spring Chinook salmon.
Implementation and Ecological Results
Implementation and Ecological Results
Native riparian hardwood trees (cottonwoods and willows) will be planted and exclosed in the floodplain to increase shade and subsequently decrease/maintain cool water temperatures. Additionally increasing the density of hardwoods will provide more suitable beaver habitat.
Decrease stream temperatures during low flows through riparian planting and fencing.
Increase riparian plant density through plantings hardwoods and building exclosures.
Overall solar radiation to the stream channel during low flows will be reduced through riparian plantings.
