Cooper Creek Restoration, GA_FY06 Project
-
This project restored over 1.6 miles of Southern Appalachian Brook Trout habitat contained within the Cooper Creek Watershed of the Chattahoochee National Forest, GA. Habitat in Bryant Creek and Pretty and Burnett Branches were restored using only hand labor to minimize soil disturbance. After non-native trout species were removed, trees were cut into and across the various stream reaches to provide in-stream cover and create pool habitat for Brook Trout and other aquatic species.

Big Run Restoration, WV_FY06 Project
-
The Big Run project is part of Trout Unlimited’s Home Rivers Initiative Potomac Headwaters Restoration Project. The Forest Service, Trout Unlimited and others teamed up to fence the riparian zone, create crossings and alternative water sources to completely remove cattle from the stream. Over time, riparian reforestation will stabilize banks and provide vital shade during warm summer months. The project also included informational and educational kiosks and trails that improved access for anglers and hikers.

The Smith Creek headwaters restoration project restored riparian and upland pastures to bottomland and upland forests in an
area with several spring habitats that provide critical spawning, rearing and late summer temperature refuge habitats for Brook Trout. The restored habitat connects to a small isolated Brook Trout population found upstream on protected National Forest land (Mountain Run).

Jam Black Brook Culvert Replacement, ME_FY12 Project
-
The goals of the project were: (1) To remove an obstruction to upstream
fish passage for brook trout, Atlantic salmon and other resident and migratory fish. (2) To
restore access to 9.8 miles of stream habitat upstream of the obstruction. (3) To restore natural
sediment and woody debris transport through the crossing site. (4) To improve flood capacity at
the Magog Road crossing, reducing the risk of debris jams or overtopping the road. (5) To
provide a demonstration site in mid‐coast Maine for an appropriate stream crossing developed
in cooperation with the municipality.
