BLM issues Decision for Winters Ranch Wetland Enhancement Project
CARSON CITY, Nev.- The Bureau of Land Management has posted a decision for Winters Ranch Restoration Project located in Washoe Valley, between Reno and Carson City, NV.
The project aims to enhance 150 acres of wetland habitat on Winters Ranch and restore 1.5 miles of aquatic and riparian habitats along Ophir, Davis, and Winters creeks. To achieve this, the BLM will utilize acquired water rights, implement low-tech in-channel restoration structures, modify water control structures, and manage vegetation. The project will involve monitoring and adaptive management to support functional riparian-wetland areas.
