Topic: Maintain and enhance wetland function and conditions, particularly in priority wetlands. (View All Topics in the Plan)
(View All Topics in the Plan)Reduce sediment transport into wetlands by maintaining plant cover outside of the wetland areas and, where relevant, natural material fencing.
Work with partners to prioritize wetlands (e.g., based on climate vulnerability) for active management and protection across jurisdictional boundaries.
Translocate and increase beaver populations to create and restore wetland habitat.
Increase microhabitat structures (e.g., woody debris) for microclimate refugia, nesting habitat, and egg deposition structures for species dependent on wetland...
Increase habitat connectivity and heterogeneity that improves wetland conditions.
Use native vegetation to increase shading of wetlands and microhabitats.
Translocate and increase beaver populations to create and restore wetland habitat.
Increase microhabitat structures (e.g., woody debris) for microclimate refugia, nesting habitat, and egg deposition structures for wetland-dependent species.
Define the extent and distribution of high elevation wetlands for the purposes of establishing a baseline to help quantify future...
