PROJECT DESCRIPTION (GENERAL) There were two phases to the Jetty Creek restoration project. Phase 1 included in-stream placement of large wood at 12 sites along 830 meters of Jetty Creek and Phase 2 involved fish passage improvement (Culvert replacement) on two tributaries to Jetty Creek and one culvert on the main stem of Jetty Creek.
MATERIALS There were very few large conifers in the riparian area along Jetty Creek. Trees were taken from nearby forest areas. Whole trees, logs with root wads and logs with limbs are were used as much as possible.
