Jefferson County streams have lost significant amounts of woody vegetation due largely to outdated grazing, logging, stream channelization, berm installation, and agricultural pressures.

We strive to promote the most sustainable practices to incorporate systems where both the producer and their streams can thrive.

We can provide technical assistance and funding to help plan and implement your restoration project! 

Example Projects
Three wire cages surround young trees in a rural landscape with hills and sparse vegetation.
  • Re-meander creeks to flow in their historic channel 
  • Plant streamside vegetation to stabilize banks and shade water
  • Terrace incised and eroded streams banks to promote soil stability
  • Build fences & water gaps to prevent livestock from harming sensitive streamsides
  • Install Beaver Dam Analogs, an artificial dam that promotes water retention and sediment filtration by mimicking the benefits of beaver dams
