SNWA will restore 10 acres of riparian habitat and protect downstream habitat through channel widening, expansion of tree zones, native riparian vegetation restoration, and enhanced mesquite bosques to reconnect incised stream channels with the floodplain. The project directly supports critical ecosystem services and species protection by improving hydrologic conditions, reducing fire risk, and decreasing erosion and sedimentation during flood events at the headwaters of the Muddy River. The restoration effort will enhance habitat for protected and sensitive species, including the endangered Moapa Dace and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, and the threatened Yellow-billed Cuckoo.
