Vegetation planted for stabilization can consist of cover for wildlife.

Measures taken are to be compatible with conservation of fish and wildlife habitat components in and adjacent to stream or shore.

Stabilized banks and shoreline increase suitable space for fish.

Re-establishment of streambank vegetation can provide additional forage.

Not Applicable

Vegetation planted for stabilization can consist of food species.
