Accelerating Riparian Restoration in Thurston County
SWSIL NTA_2018-0380
Thurston County, South Sound Salmon Enhancement Group, Thurston Conservation District, and other partners developed a program of incentives to motivate the voluntary restoration of riparian areas on private land. The goal of this program is to improve water quality and mitigate impacts from stormwater and nonpoint pollution, restore habitat, increase resiliency to floods and droughts, and support recreational use of streams. Tasks included:
1. Identifying priority reaches for restoration from existing plans. (Pilot area: Middle Deschutes River; secondary: McLane Creek basin)
2. Working with landowners to identify concerns, preferences and restoration incentives
