Trout Habitat Improvement Program

This is a new program created specifically to rehabilitate physical habitat in trout waters, and it focuses on the upper White River System tailwaters. This program stabilizes eroding streambanks and creates fish cover habitat in the stream channel. The Aquatic Habitat Coordinator who reports to the Coldwater Coordinator supervises the program. Program personnel also include a technician, who operates the heavy equipment (excavators, loaders, etc). Much of the work is also done with contractors and partnership funding with Army Corps of Engineers.
