This photo is of an instream structure made of large woody debris placed by Mendocino Watershed Service as part of the Jobs In the Woods program under the Northwest Forest Plan. Photo taken in 1994. Photo courtesy of Craig Bell.
This large natural pool is not far upstream of the mouth of the North Fork and is formed by the large second growth redwood tree at left. Photo courtesy of Craig Bell. Taken in 1994.
The pool in this picture is also formed by naturally recruited large wood. The root wad appears to be original old growth. Wood of this type can last hundreds of years and may be buried by catastrophic sediment yield and then come back to the surface as the stream cuts down. 1-17-94. Photo courtesy of Craig Bell.
The large pool formed by woody debris shown in this picture is at confluence of Derby Creek and North Fork Garcia. 3-11-94. Photo courtesy of Craig Bell.
Log structure installed to enhance habitat diversity and create scour on the lower North Fork Garcia River by the Mendocino Watershed Service. January 17, 1994. Photo courtesy of Craig Bell.
This picture shows a large piece of embedded, very old wood on the margin of the lower North Fork Garcia River around which a scour pool has formed. This photograph was provided by Craig Bell. 1/17/94.
The lower North Fork Garcia River is shown in this picture with young, natural alder recruits colonizing the bank and providing better channel definition. The drought conditions that prevailed in the late 1980's and early 1990's allowed alders and willows to get established. The uniform young age of the trees (<10 years) at right suggests recent bar movement. Photo provided by Craig Bell. 1/17/94.
The logs spanning the channel in this picture were placed there by the Mendocino Watershed Service as part of habitat improvement efforts. Photo by Craig Bell. Taken in 1994.
