Final Methods
Bare root trees and shrubs were be purchased from various nurseries. A five-person conservation corps crew was hired for three weeks to plant the bare root stock and willow cuttings on stream enhancement projects that have been completed in the past and other areas that have proper livestock grazing management in place. Areas that were planted include the lower Beaver River between the town of Minersville and Minersville Reservoir, the upper Sevier River near the town of Hatch, East Fork of the Sevier River in Kingston Canyon, and Otter Creek upstream of the reservoir. Planting projects were completed in March, April, and June of 2019.

Project Narrative
The project was implemented as planned. There were no significant problems, difficulties, etc. The partnership with landowners was beneficial to the project and utilizing a conservation corps crew to do the plantings seemed to be effective.
*
Future Management
All of the areas are fenced and fences area actively maintained. Grazing is excluded along the riparian corridor in most of the areas. There are also grazing plans in place with the landowner or permittee in all areas to manage for establishment of woody riparian vegetation. Planting locations will be monitored and it will be determined if additional plantings are needed.
