Image Batten Kill, New York
Photo of the old water management structure built in 1950 causing widening of the stream. These structures will be removed and the stream narrowed and deepened with J-hooks and large woody debris.

Wood Additions into the Sheepscot, Narraguagus, Machias Watersheds, Maine
In 2007, Project SHARE and the Department of Marine Resources Bureau of Sea-Run Fisheries and Habitat and private land owners undertook a "chop and drop" large wood addition project. Wood was added to streams with the intent to increase habitat complexity and salmonid survival. This project expands the large wood treatment locations to include the Sheepscot drainage, along with treatment locations on the Machias, East Machias and Narraguagus River drainages. It adds nine additional large wood treatment sites enhancing approximately 4 miles of stream for brook trout.

Image Narraguagus Drainage in Maine
Photo of the Narraguagus drainage in Maine. View upstream of pretreated treatment sites. Note the clearly over widened stream, lack of habitat complexity and lack of large wood. This is a typical treatment site for downeast Maine.

Thorn Creek Aquatic Passage Project, Pendelton County, West Virginia
This project will remove the 9 identified fish passage barriers in a 50 square mile wild brook trout watershed in Thorn Creek of the South Branch of the Potomac. These impediments block passage in one or both directions, and serve to sustain an outward migration of brook trout into waters which, currently, are lethally warm for brook trout in typical summer conditions. Removal of the blockages will open over 25 miles of perennial stream to brook trout, improving the long term security of the population. Thorn Creek serves as a brook trout nursery for the upper South Branch of the Potomac.

2008 Projects
This folder contains information and photos for 13 projects funded in 2008. Over $484,000 in funding for these projects came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with an estimated partner contribution of $4,070,000. Collectively these projects will enhance over 55 miles of stream habitat, restore 14 miles and 171 acres of riparian habitat, remove 5 fish passage barriers to restore access to 33 miles of stream, and result in an estimated $57 million in socioeconomic benefits

Brook Trout Restoration Lynn Camp Prong, Great Smokey Mountain National Park, Tennessee
The purpose of the project is to continue to restore the Southern Appalachian brook trout to a larger lower elevation stream within its historic range in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. To date, park biologists have restored 17.2 miles of historic range for brook trout. The successful completion of this project will add 8 miles to this total.

Chop and Drop in Sunday River, Maine
The objectives of this project are to restore riverine and riparian habitats as well as to improve ecological stream processes for native brook trout in the Sunday River drainage. Stream habitats in this drainage have been degraded by poor land use practices, including timber harvesting, log driving, farming, and commerical and recreational development. A half mile long treatment of each of two tributaries will receive woody debris. These tributaries and a nearby control will be monitored for geomorphic, chemical, biological, and flow responses.
