ABSTRACT: The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are restoring bull trout habitat in the Jocko River watershed, located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana.
In the spring and summer of 2005, the first phase of a large restoration project along 3, 200 feet of the Jocko River was implemented to reverse the trend of channel incision, reestablish the connection between the active channel and the historic floodplain, and restore native plant community types to the riparian and floodplain areas.
Revegetation strategies along the newly constructed channel focused on planting native tree, shrub and forb seelings, seeding with native and quick establishing annual grasses and forbs in disturbed areas, salvaging and transplanting native shrubs and trees, and installing soil bioengineering structures adjacent to rigid habitat structures to encourage establishment of shrubs along high energy banks.
