Restoration Ripple Effects:
Co-benefits to fish, wildlife, and communities.
River restoration benefits more than fish.
Healthy and restored river corridors have room to move, taking on complex and connected forms.
Water can readily access the floodplain as water rises, slowing a river’s flow, providing diverse habitats to both aquatic and terrestrial species, and cleaning water before it is passed downstream.
Trout Unlimited uses restoration strategies and techniques, depending on the setting, but the goal of restoring complex, well-connected river systems remains the same no matter where we work.
