NATIVE HABITAT

 

Doing the Work
Revegetation utilizing native plant species took place at the Weaver Basin Wetlands with mitigation funds from CalTrans and along streams for post fire rehabilitation with funds from US Forest Service.

Species planted included willow, cottonwood, Douglas fir, ponderosa pine. These critical site plantings were implemented on tributaries to Weaver Creek that were in both the Junction Fire (2006) and Oregon Fire (2001).

 


RECREATION AND TRAILS

 

A variety of recreation and trails projects were undertaken by the District during 2007. Wilderness Trail Clearing-Phase III was completed with nearly 100 miles of trail cleared for the USFS. Phase IV was approved for an additional 100 miles to be addressed during 2008. Other projects worked on during the year included bridge installation over East Weaver Creek as part of the Weaverville Basin Trail system, and completing a virtual brochure for the historical mining landscape of the West Weaver Creek area for the Bureau of Land Management.
