Brandon Gulch Salmon Habitat

Funding for this salmon habitat enhancement project in Brandon Gulch was granted in December 2021. Planning and permitting will take some time but physical work is expected to begin in summer 2025. The Mendocino Land Trust will implement a project to improve coho salmon spawning habitat in Brandon Gulch, a small tributary to the South Fork Noyo River. Thirty-five new log structures will be installed using over 100 large wood pieces along a 3,885-foot stretch near the Egg Collecting Station. Stay tuned for details and photos once work begins!
