Pacific Coast Fish Wildlife And Wetlands Assoc

Programs: Erosion prevention projects erosion prevention projects. Seven major projects took place in four major watersheds within humboldt county. Projects were located on both private and public lands. The projects involved the decommissioning or de-construction of abandoned roads that were identified through field inventories as at high risk to produce major future sediment delivery to stream channels. The purpose of these projects is to improve aquatic habitat conditions for endangered salmon and other species. The work requires extensive use of heavy earth moving equipment, specialized geological oversight and labor crews for mulching and tree planting. Over 85% of the expenses were for contracted services. The remaining expenses included oversight by a registered geologist (consultant), project management and permitting expenses.

coastal wetland and stream restoration project - coastal wetland and stream restoration projects. These projects involved conducting the topographic survey, hydrologic analysis, engineering (needed to complete permitting) and construction activities for restoration of habitat to benefit fish, waterfowl and other wetland dependent species. The projects included a major estuary restoration project on the humboldt bay national wildlife refuge and restoration of riparian wetlands on private lands adjacent to redwood national park. Included were technical consulting services and construction expenditures. Much of the labor in these projects was contracted through the california conservation corps. Native riparian tree and shrub species were grown by a local nonprofit nursery. Several volunteer planting events took place with support of local community members.
