Our reputation for innovation has allowed us to restore rivers, streams, and wetlands across sixteen states, improve wild habitat and water quality, increase native plant diversity, promote environmental health, and preserve land values for future generations.
Project
Thompson Spring Creek Restoration and Fisheries Enhancement
Client
in coordination with private landowners
The Problem
Years of erosion, overgrazing, and high summer temperatures significantly affected the Thompson Creek Stream and fishery near Belgrade, MT. The combination of these factors led to large fine sediment deposits covering the stream bed, destroying deep pool and spawning habitats.
Our Solution
Confluence coordinated with private landowners to:
- Provide project consultation, surveying, permitting, design, and construction oversight
During construction we:
- Reduced channel widths
- Installed bioengineered bank stabilization treatments
- Improved aesthetics and wildlife habitat features
- Increased deep pool, rearing, and spawning habitat for trout
- Stabilized seasonal water temperatures
- Expanded floodplain and wetland habitat
- Restored and revegetated adjacent wetlands with native sod and seed
