Excerpt: "The purpose of the Strawberry Creek Restoration Project on NPS lands is to restore the structure and hydrologic functions of Strawberry Creek by removing vegetation and excavating a channel to re-establish a free-flowing stream and side channels; re-establishing a riparian corridor with native vegetation to assist in the control of invasive plants in and adjacent to the stream channel; replacing culverts that impede fish passage and alter natural hydrologic and geomorphic processes; and eliminating sources of erosion to reduce sediment delivery into the stream (RNP 2014). This action is needed to enhance populations of threatened fish species through restoring access to designated critical habitat, improving water quality, and improving biological productivity in stream channels to support non-natal rearing of salmonids."
