Our goals included increasing native sedge and other meadow species by promoting a sheet-flow flow regime through increased floodplain connectivity. We also wanted to create habitat for beavers and trout, as well as other aquatic species, and increase the meadows overall resiliency to droughts, fires and floods.
Structures consisted mostly of BDAs but also include PALS for eroding banks and creating lateral flow paths. Hybrid structures were also implemented in sensitive areas, these structures consisted of densely packed leafy materials, compressed with large heavy wood.
