Project Goals and Objectives

Round Mountain Stringer is located on the south side of Monache Mountain and is part of the active Monache Grazing Allotment. It is a relatively small meadow that is mostly subsurface meadow with sheetflow and swale type habitat with some areas of riparian channel where flows have concentrated. Due to the active grazing, objectives were geared towards cattle determent, headcut mitigation and floodplain connectivity.

Structure Construction Elements

A total of 65 structures were implemented in Round Mountain meadow, consisting of 9 BDA’s, 12 Hybrid structures (tight PALS), 6 Log structures, 36 Cattle determinant structures and 2 PALS.
