Phase III – Red Ives Creek Wood Placement 2023
Trout Unlimited, the St. Joe Ranger District and Idaho Panhandle National Forest are partnering to help restore the Red Ives Creek to diversify aquatic habitat types through the addition of large woody debris to about 4,000′ of the channel. The intended outcomes are to develop pools, provide cover, create small meanders, increase interaction with floodplain in some spots, and protect existing infrastructure. These outcomes will support different life stages of both bull trout and Westslope cutthroat trout while also benefitting other wildlife species.
