Client: Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES)
SBS worked in collaboration with RES under the Klamath River Renewal Corporation to conduct vegetation plot sampling for the largest dam removal project in the world, along the Klamath River in Siskiyou County, California. The plots were designed to capture pre-existing vegetation parameters across a variety of habitats within the footprints of three of the Klamath River reservoirs. The data will be used to guide ecological restoration objectives to revegetate thousands of acres, and provide success criteria for post-restoration monitoring. Ultimately, the revegetation project supports the restoration of the Klamath River ecosystem, and supports the native tribes and local communities that depend on the historic salmon runs in the Klamath. SBS was also contracted to support the on-the-ground revegetation efforts during peak planting periods led by the Yurok Tribe. This included seed planting and digital data collection to document planting efforts.
