  • Restoration of riparian vegetation and re-establishing floodplain connectivity.
  • Active or passive restoration that may include an element of invasive plant removal and control.
  • Installation of fencing along the riparian corridor to manage livestock or wildlife and reduce impacts to streams or riparian vegetation.
  • Reconfigure degraded, incised, or undefined streams to restore natural hydrology and encourage reestablishment of native riparian habitat.
