Abstract

Managing and restoring watersheds often involves recreation of riparian habitats. The natural functions of riparian forest natural to slow flood water, stabilize stream banks and trap sediments can be used in restoring disturbed creek systems. The State Coastal Conservancy's wetland enhancement program is preserving wetlands on the California coast through repair and management of watersheds. Examples from rural and urban areas illustrate how riparian restoration can be integrated into watershed projects.
