Wisen Creek culvert reconstruction in Washington

This project replaced three undersized culvert fish barriers on Wisen Creek and Wisen Branch Creek. The overall goal was to replace the three undersized culverts with fish passable structures to increase the quantity and quality of accessible spawning and rearing habitat for coho, steelhead, and trout species. Upon completion of this project, aquatic species gained unimpeded access to 1.8 miles of quality habitat upstream as well as improved access to over two acres of wetland and beaver pond habitat.
