Habitat Restoration

 

Sonoma and Mendocino County residents are becoming increasingly interested in preserving, managing and enhancing stream systems. Landowners, agencies and land managers are evaluating ways in which their practices can be made more fish friendly, and increasing numbers of individuals and community groups are involved in habitat restoration projects in riparian areas. 

Most landowners wish to protect riparian resources while optimizing the value and productivity of their property. These two goals sometimes conflict. An understanding of stream processes and riparian habitat can help landowners manage their property productively while conserving riparian resources, and even enhance property values. In addition to providing basic information about riparian corridors, these web pages are intended to assist landowners, schools and community groups with the planning and implementation resources for preservation, management and restoration of riparian systems.
