Title

Trinity County Resource Conservation District (TCRCD) Westside Watershed Restoration Project

Description

The STNF, Hayfork Ranger District, developed a series of water quality improvements in the Trinity River, South Fork Trinity River, and Cottonwood Creek watersheds on U.S. Forest Service lands to reduce erosion related to roads. The Westside Watershed Restoration Project was developed by the STNF to implement the Aquatic Conservation Strategy of the Northwest Forest Plan. The project involves decommissioning approximately 48 miles of roads that currently pose risks to water quality and watershed resources and that are not necessary for public or administrative access. Although the project was developed by the STNF, implementation of many aspects of the project is being proposed by the TCRCD. The project would be funded in part by a Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program grant submitted by the TCRCD.
