This grant from the Bureau of Land Management’s High Desert District Rawlins Field Office enhances wildlife and fisheries habitats within the Muddy Creek watershed. This vital area supports BLM sensitive and ESA listed fish, birds, and big game, yet faces degradation from grazing, drought, and energy development. The project’s purpose is to restore and improve shrub communities, increasing soil and water retention. It involves planting native species like dogwood, willow, serviceberry, and chokecherry in riparian and upland sites. These efforts will create essential songbird habitat, provide aquatic shade, and stabilize water temperatures. Ultimately, the grant seeks to increase the abundance and diversity of woody riparian and mountain shrubs, significantly improving public wildlife and fisheries resources in the Muddy Creek watershed.

| Description: | A. Project Background Information: The Muddy Creek watershed is important habitat for BLM sensitive fish and birds, multiple big game species, and for ESA listed fish species downstream in the mainstem Yampa and Colorado River ecosystems. Livestock grazing, drought, energy development and associated surface disturbances contribute to riparian, erosion, and stream channel stability conditions that are the focus of fisheries, rangeland and watershed restoration efforts. B. Project Objective:Improved shrub communities would increase soil and water holding capacity, provide resident and migratory songbird habitat, create shade and cover for aquatic species, and provide more stable water temperatures. Dogwood, water birch, golden currant, and willow seedlings would be planted to enhance riparian areas. Serviceberry and chokecherry saplings would be planted in upland sites to enhance wildlife habitat. C. Statement of Joint Objectives/Project Management Plan: This project would enhance the public¿s wildlife and fisheries habitats by increasing the abundance, diversity and age class distribution of woody riparian and mountain shrubs in the Muddy Creek watershed. D. Period of Project: June 2010 through May 2012 |
