"The South Fork Catherine Creek Floodplain Restoration Project took place in the field seasons of 2011 and 2012 on 4.3 stream miles beginning near the mouth if South Fork Catherine Creek. The goal of the project was to rehabilitate habitat for native Chinook salmon, steelhead, redband and bull trout. The project objectives included obliteration of a draw bottom road, restoration of natural floodplain dynamics, placement of large woody structures, restoration of a disconnected side channel, construction of livestock drift fences, construction of a livestock trail, and planting riparian trees, shrubs, grass, and sedges."--Page 2.
