Sediment prevention in salmon-bearing streams

Road related sediments are a non-point source pollutant detrimental to Coho salmon and steelhead trout. With $700,000 in funding from the EPA, the Center collaborated with the Mendocino Resource Conservation District to undertake road work and riparian restoration at the Galbreath Wildlands Preserve to reduce sedimentation in the Rancheria Creek Watershed. The project has established Galbreath roads as a tour destination for learning about best management practices for dirt road construction.
