Richfield Creek Riparian Exclusion Fencing and Restoration

Richfield Creek was included in a larger riparian restoration initiative in 2021 through the Morice Water Monitoring Trust (see dataset: Upper Bulkley Riparian Restoration). The Creek provides high habitat values for numerous fish species and is known for providing excellent coho salmon spawning and rearing habitat. SERNBC (Society for Ecosystem Restoration in Northern BC) and DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) added to the work in 2021 by funding a cattle exclusion fence from the high voltage transmission line, south to the CN rail line. More fences and restoration works were implemented in 2022.
