Lower Putah Creek 2 NAWCA

Lower Putah Creek 2 NAWCA

The purpose of the project is improve fish and wildlife habitat by restoring a functional flood plain to approximately 6,500 linear feet of bank along Putah Creek and 1,500 linear feet of bank along McCune Creek. Much of the existing banks within the project area are near vertical, and can extend more than 10 feet above the low-flow water surface elevation. These steep banks restrict the establishment and natural recruitment of many desirable native plant species. A restored bank will help to reduce erosion of the bank, improve water quality, and increase the amount and diversity of native vegetation.
