Example Projects
| Middle Boulder Creek – Rogers Park Restoration Project |
The Boulder Flycasters chapter of Trout Unlimited initiated a project to restore a heavily used reach of Middle Boulder Creek above the City of Boulder. The project was designed to improve channel stability and habitat diversity. |
|
| Tarryall Creek Ranch Riparian Restoration Project |
Project objective was to restore the natural riparian condition along a severely degraded reach of Tarryall Creek in Park County. Riparian vegetation was planted to restore a wetland ecosystem. Riparian fencing was constructed to decrease impacts from grazing cattle. The land has been protected with a conservation easement. The restored reach connects well functioning upstream and downstream reaches. |
