Restoration Actions
17. Riparian Fencing
Restoration of Aquatic Native Fish Habitat
Project proposes to construct 2.0 miles of 4-strand wire fence, to improve riparian conditions by restricting livestock access, along 1 mile of Little Indian Creek, a perennial tributary of Indian Creek, a tributary of the Middle Fork John Day River. It provides spawning and rearing habitat for ESA listed summer steelhead. Unrestricted livestock access to the creek and associated riparian areas have degraded site conditions affecting aquatic habitat, water temperatures, and streamside vegetation. The enclosure will allow for streambank stabilization, decreased sediment loads, and allow riparian vegetation to reach natural site potential buffering against stream temperature fluctuations.

Targeted Metric

  • Stream miles treated: 1.00 linear stream miles

Focal Species

  • ESA listed Steelhead

Implementation and Ecological Results

  • 6 - Increase Water Quantity & Quality
