A portion of this project was funded with a grant from Patagonia Outdoor Clothing and Gear (http://www.patagonia.com/us/home). The rocks were placed strategically to narrow the low flow channel of a historically widened streambed and provide some diversity of cover for both fish and macroinvertebrate habitat. The Chapter plans to place signs prohibiting the harvesting of trout in the stream section and to do post construction testing to compare to the pre construction analysis conducted in August of 2015.
