Innovative approach – Hope Valley restoration project shows early signs success
Since construction for the Hope Valley Restoration and Aquatic Habitat Enhancement Project was completed in October of 2020, early signs of willow growth seems to bode well for the future of the West Fork Carson River. A collaborative effort led by the Alpine Watershed Group, the project’s aim is to help reduce erosion and sedimentation in the river system, ultimately improving water quality and aquatic habitat while restoring Hope Valley’s natural floodplain.
