The stabilized tree will create a habitat for the trout while helping to divert the water flow, which can otherwise erode the river coast and potentially damage the area.
Boise, Idaho – the flood control region of the Boyz River # 10 partnered with local fishermen to rearrange a fallen cotton tree tree for fish habitat and control of erosion along the Boyz River.
The area was approved by the Army Engineering Corps and the Aidaho Water Resources Department to change its winter maintenance operations. The change allows fallen trees to remain in place rather than removed or burned. Authorities claim that this new approach to river management will be beneficial for wildlife and infrastructure.
“This is the first time we were able to work together to keep these natural structures on the spot,” a press report said.
Boise Valley Fly Fishers finances the project, which includes professional fastening of the solid cotton tree along the south coast. The stabilized tree will create a habitat for the trout while helping to divert the water flow, which otherwise could erode the shore of the river and potentially damage the adjacent road to the green belt.
The employees of the fish and play in Idaho support the initiative, noting that Woody Debris provides a major coverage for the fish population. The project shows increasing recognition of how natural materials can serve many goals in river management.
The time of the project coincides with the upcoming exhibition of fly fishing at Expo Idaho, where the partnership will be emphasized among other fishing initiatives and demonstrations.
The site is located close to the 8840 W. River Beach Lane in Garden City, where anchored tree will serve as a model for future projects for the protection of river habitats.
