The activit <br />that this pro fits most closel is the Riparian Ve and/or Fencin Activit Below we have described how this <br />pro has met the g uidelines and/or considerations for this activit <br />Riparian Ve and/or Fencin <br />Guidance and/or Considerations I <br />1. Have the causes of ve removal been identified and addressed <br />2. If livestock g razin g occurs, will fencin off-channel waterin or other g razin g mana strate be used to <br />protect planted ve <br />3. How will riparian ve plantin be protected from wildlife? Will the protection measures cause more harm than <br />g ood to a functions, such as hinderin the construction and maintenance of beaver dams that provide j uvenile fish <br />rearin habitat? <br />Cottonwood seedlin were protected with 4' tall it fencin secured in place with metal t-posts. These were made <br />lar enou to allow trees to g row and g ain substantial size. All other tree seedlin were protected with plastic <br />seedlin tubes secured with bamboo stakes.
