  1. Address decimated riparian vegetation on 12 stream reaches, restoring over 300 acres of riparian zones through planting and large woody debris installation.
  2. Improve in-stream fish habitat on 21 stream reaches by developing desired channel features, placing wood structures, and encouraging natural processes.
  3. Install 150 structures to allow for natural channel processes, such as gravel recruitment and pool formation.
  4. Address weeds and revegetate 15,000 acres.
  5. Develop fire risk assessments and implement mitigation plans on 3 projects, while also improving recreational access sites.

These comprehensive ecosystem restoration activities are expected to significantly improve the health of fisheries, wildlife, and aquatic habitats in the Klamath River watershed.
