Final Methods
Cattle Exclusion A fence was constructed around all wetland and riparian habitat in Tickville gulch to keep cattle and livestock out. The fence was constructed and installed by a contractor using the materials and methods for the standard design four strand barbed wire fence outlined by the UDWR. The fence was completed in March of 2019 and totaled 7,815ft. Stream Restoration A total of 12 Beaver dam analogs (BDAs) were installed in the stream channel by Camp Williams staff and DWR staff in the Summer of 2020. BDAs were constructed from wooden posts and coconut fiber and follow documentation and methods outlined by the Beaver Management Institute. Riparian Habitat/Vegetation Restoration Russian Olives were removed by physical means (i.e. pulling, cutting, digging). 300 Native Willow stakes were planted along the stream and in Riparian areas in association with BDAs in order to restore habitat and provide bank stabilization/erosion control. Plants were installed in the spring of 2020 by Camp Williams staff.

Project Narrative
This project sought to protect the wetlands and riparian habitat from future degradation as well as restore and improve the habitat for wildlife and human resources. We addressed an incised stream channel with low perennial water flow, and unstable and bare banks by excluding cattle so the existing vegetation could grow, installed BDAs to raise the water table and planted native plants such as willow to help stabilize banks and provide habitat for wildlife. All objectives outlined in the project proposal have either been met or are underway and it will take time for the restoration efforts to be fully realized. This project relies on process based techniques which happen slowly overtime and will be augmented each year. Current monitoring shows promising results and trends in the right direction. Archaeological sites have also been protected by the completion of this project.
*
Future Management
Camp Williams will continue process based restoration in both areas. BDAs will be maintained and more native shrub plantings will take place. Adaptive management and monitoring will continue to occur, using the methods and monitoring practices outlined in the proposal of this project.
