The project, started in 2005 and completed in 2007, was a demonstration project for reactivating historical meanders and implementing both passive and active restoration treatments on the Sprague River near Beatty. The project site is an important migration corridor for federally listed shortnose and Lost River suckers, redband trout, and Klamath large scale suckers. The project converted side channels to backwater wetlands, reactivated 4,000 feet of historical channel meanders, installed 13 large wood structures for fish habitat, excluded livestock from the river corridor, and installed over 20,000 plants to restore riparian vegetation. Partners included the Winding Sprague Ranch, USFWS, River Design Group, Inc., John Richmond Contracting, Inc., and OWEB.
