@savetheredwoods   Aaron Martin is Habitat Restoration Biologist for @theyuroktribe and he and his team work with @caltrout, @savetheredwoods, and more partners on the Prairie Creek Restoration Project! 🌲

Due to years of harmful activities on this landscape including logging, grazing and development, the creek’s stream bed became incised and pushed up against the highway embankment. This restoration project aims to bring the meandering nature back to the natural stream bed through the meadow and to get more water back up onto the floodplain. Aaron has been a project lead since the start and has personally overseen all phases of the stream bed restoration. His job is to guide the restoration efforts keeping the best interests of fish and other wildlife in mind and making sure these same species are not harmed throughout the multi-year construction process. 🐟

Stay tuned for more updates on the Prairie Creek Restoration Project as we continue to restore the creek and surrounding landscape!
