Building Resilience in South St. Vrain Creek
Enhancing watershed resilience in the face of flood, fire, and drought. This restoration project aims to build ecological and geomorphic complexity in an unconfined and depositional river reach using process-based restoration practices. This is a multi-objective river restoration project that aims to build watershed resilience to post-fire and other climate-change impacts that threaten ecosystem function and community values and safety.
