event_description: The Ukiah Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management is currently working on a large-scale restoration project of the Lower Garcia River and Estuary. The goal of the project is to increase juvenile salmonid rearing habitat for out-migrating smolts by, "diversifying" the floodplain to create long-term floodplain refugia and installing engineered log-jams to provide cover and increase feeding opportunities.  Salmonid species present in the estuary include, steelhead, coho, chinook and pink salmon.The project began construction in June of this year. Post-construction efforts include planting native species throughout the restored area. As a part of the overall restoration effort we will be helping BLM to plant thousands of native plants that were grown out from local seed or salvaged during project construction. This is a beautiful location to spend Public Lands Day and we could really use your help!Photo by Bob Wick, BLMLunch will be provided for those that RSVP and confirm. Waders, and work gloves are optional to bring if you have a favorite pair, but are not essential. Be sure to wear a hat, long sleeves or other appropriate sun protection.
