2022 Project Site |
Manitou River Site M17.1
This year we completed one restoration site on the Manitou River at Site M17.1. This site was at risk of erosion due to lack of vegetation and steepness of the slope. In the spring of 2022 the road beside this section of the river was at risk of washing out which would have caused ecologically as well as infrastructure damage. A lack of canopy cover at this section of the river also increases the water temperature and ability for algae to grow in this section of the river. Algae growth can cover important spawning habitat for salmon and trout.
