This project proposed the acquisition of high quality LiDAR in the Upper Middle Fork and Headwaters North Fork focal FIP geographies. High quality LiDAR will inform project planning, design, watershed modeling, and landscape scale monitoring. Restoration projects developed in the 3 FIP focal geographies aim to address the following limiting factors: reduced habitat connectivity, complexity, & flow regime function, degraded water quality, altered hydrology, reduced riparian condition and degraded riparian vegetative communities, altered sediment routing and overland flow, LWD recruitment, and impaired fish passage & habitat connectivity.
