Our work with South Coast landowners features a long-term comprehensive strategy to restore Coho streams. In 2008, we re-located Butte Creek ( a small Coho stream) back into its historic channel. In the past century, Butte Creek had been channelized, ditched, straightened, and simplified. This restoration project includes creating sinuosity and meanders; adding large wood; re-constructing off-channel habitat alcoves; and planting thousands of riparian trees and shrubs.
