Example stream conditions in the Crabtree Creek assessment reach.
|  | River Design Group, Inc. completed an existing conditions assessment and restoration prioritization plan for Crabtree Creek, near the town of Crabtree, Oregon. For this effort, RDG reviewed existing data, collected field data, and used remote sensing techniques to prioritize aquatic habitat improvement and conservation projects in the 3-mile assessment reach. Restoration Actions were prioritized based on expected ecological benefits, implementation costs, and risks. Conservation Actions were also presented as a means to preserve remaining floodplains, riparian vegetation, and upland forests. Key project components include: - Classification of geomorphic channel units
- Analysis of historical and current aerial photos
- Topographic surveys and stream reconnaissance
- Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
- Prioritization of restoration and conservation actions
