HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, HABITATS AND SPECIES
Conserve and Restore Salmonid Habitats and Ecosystems
This project contains three elements: 1. Modification of a historic agricultural ditch that diverted 1cfs to irrigate a series of small pastures, yards, and orchards. 2. Rainwater catchment demonstration and water conservation workshops to capture stormwater, leaving water instream during the low flow period. 3. Installation of potable water tanks for the Weaverville Community Services District to replace a leaking redwood tank.
