Resurrection Creek Collaborative Aquatic Landscape Restoration Action Plan will improve over 14 miles of valuable salmon and trout habitat and 72 acres of riparian forests and floodplains that were severely altered by a century of hydraulic and placer dredge mining, as well as improve access to popular recreational areas, treat invasive plants, and remove hazardous fuels. Resurrection Creek is highly valued by anglers and miners alike and both are interested in seeing this stream restored to a more naturally functioning condition. This restoration plan will create a more naturally functioning stream ecosystem by adding dozens of large log jams and creating a naturally sinuous and functioning watershed. At the same time, riparian forests would be revegetated with native trees and shrubs, and interpretive areas would be created to describe the rich history of the area.
