San Vicente Creek Restoration III
Restoration Stories
Chris Blencowe and the rest of the Blencowe Watershed Management team have been working lay dozens of redwood trunks across a half-mile stretch of San Vicente Creek, about 2 miles upstream from its Highway 1 crossing. All of the wood — a mixture of fallen and fresh trees — is sourced from within a few hundred yards of the creek. The wood is providing habitat and protection for endangered coho salmon. The Sempervirens Fund acquired the 8,500-acre land through which the creek runs from Cemex in 2011 in partnership with three other trusts including the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County and the Peninsula Open Space Trust. © Barry Blanchard
