<DetailedDescription>This report summarizes data collected in the Lolo Creek watershed during the 2006 field season to determine the rate of recovery of impacted watersheds from past management practices. The Lolo Creek watershed has long been influenced by timber harvest, road building and associated stream crossings, as well as livestock grazing. Since 1997, the Nez Perce Tribe Department of Fisheries Resources Management, Watershed Division has taken an active role in the restoration of streams impacted by these activities. Restoration projects to date include the construction of livestock fencing exclosures, replanting of riparian vegetation, obliteration of abandoned roads, and the replacement of culverts that were barriers to fish passage. The monitoring variables surveyed provide data to facilitate the assessment of current stream conditions as well as the degree of change that streams have experienced since restoration was implemented. Stream health is determined by comparing survey results to extablished standards, with the objective of returning the impacted watershed to a naturally diverse and stable system and restoring population of spring Chinook salmon, steelhead, westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout to the watershed.</DetailedDescription>
