Piquet Ranch Riparian Restoration 2023

Friends of the Teton will use this grant to restore valuable Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout habitat, water equality, connectivity, and function in a heavily impacted and highly visible reach adjacent to the Bates Bridge public access. Historic overgrazing of the leased Piquet Ranch property caused the loss of riparian vegetation, resulting in streambank instability and widening of the stream channels, loss of quality fish habitat, and water quality impairments.
