| | Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska |
 | | The Matanuska-Susitna Borough feared that, left unchecked, those factors would lead to vegetation loss, a wider and shallower riverbed, and a shortage of overhead cover for juvenile salmon. |
 | | Thus, in 2000, using $250,000 from a $4.4 million parks, recreation and trails bond, the borough began its Deshka River campground improvement and restoration project. |
 | | Having achieved the bulk of its goals, the borough believes that it has halted degredation and has made the area more sustainable for fish, wildlife and recreation. |
