Watershed Restoration Program
Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
The project is located along Blackwood Creek and includes the Eagle Rock trails system, on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. The project will enhance aquatic and riparian habitat conditions and provide water quality benefits by enhancing the natural function of a highly degraded stream. The project will specifically adjust stream plan form in certain locations, excavate floodplain areas, degrade steep banks and install toe revetments, install debris structures and riffles in channel, revegetate banks and floodplains, reroute trail sections, apply trail BMPs, and remove encroaching conifers from aspen stands.
