Project Overview
Basics
Middle Fork John Day Planting 2024
Planning/Design
This project is located within the Middle Fork John Day River, a tributary to the John Day River. Work will be entirely located within Grant County, Oregon, beginning approximately 13 miles northeast of the town of Prairie City. This project is a continuation of an on-going effort in the Middle fork of the John Day River to provide shade via riparian planting efforts. This project is proposing to revegetate sections of the Middle Fork to reestablish the riparian corridor and reduce solar inputs through planting of native vegetation. Funding from this grant will contribute to revegetation efforts on tribal lands. Planting will occur on previous restoration projects.

Focal Species
Focal Species
The Middle Fork John Day River is classified as feeding, migratory, overwintering, and resident habitat for bull trout. Mitigation of solar input and reduced in-stream temperatures addresses a critical limiting factor for this species.
The Middle Fork John Day River is critical spawning and rearing habitat for steelhead. Mitigation of solar input and reduced in-stream temperature addresses a critical limiting factor for this species.
The Middle Fork John Day River is spawning and rearing habitat for pacific lamprey. Improved habitat conditions including stream temperature reduction are expected to provide benefit for this species.
The Middle Fork John Day River is critical spawning and rearing habitat for chinook salmon. Mitigation of solar input and reduced in-stream temperature addresses a critical limiting factor for this species.
Implementation and Ecological Results
Implementation and Ecological Results
This project will directly improve riparian plant diversity and abundance within our project areas.
This project aims to establish the riparian corridor by means of planting riparian species along the stream back to provide shade along the Middle Fork John Day River.
A primary goal of installing shading vegetation is to reduce in-stream temperatures, thereby reducing stress to various salmonid species in the basin during sensitive life stages.
Working Groups
Working Groups
Middle Fork John Day working group goals are to improve habitat for ESA-listed species within the MF John Day River, this project directly addresses limiting factors found in the MFJDR.
