The habitat restoration plans will involve additional information collecting such as a vole trapping effort for
baseline population, and additional seed collecting of species to be utilized for the restoration of the Amargosa River and Willow Creek. The project will ultimately restore important riparian and wetland habitats in a desert ecosystem sustaining several wildlife and plant species. WCB Project Tracker ID: 2024050.
