Since 2013 Geographic Review the ESA Habitat Restoration Program has retooled it's objectives to assist as a first priority; implementing habitat restoration, and additional data collection in the Yankee Fork Salmon River.  2015 will be mostly budgeted for implementing on-the-ground habitat restoration projects in Yankee Fork, remaining funds are directed at the North Fork, Panther Creek, and Upper Salmon River watersheds.  This year the ESA program will collaborate work and cost-share with various agencies, non-profit organization within the Salmon Subbasin; USFS in the Salmon-Challis South Zone, and Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA); IDTeam members: Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), ID-OSC Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Funds (PCSRF), Trout Unlimited (TU), and private land owners.  Habitat projects to be implemented in 2015 are exclosure fence in the Upper Salmon on Pole Creek, the first phase of the West Fork Confluence on Yankee Fork reconnection with the historic channel and floodplain.  To follow up with last year's project to replace a culvert with a  bridge on Pole Creek to improve fish passage and complement the project area and a suite of habitat restoration actions we will be constructing an exclosure fence on the lower end of the property.  Last year we postponed a stream restoration project on Panther Creek by removing an abandoned diversion, remove berms, and leave a straightened channel to allow Panther Creek to flow sinuously back across and through the riparian area.  It will be completed in 2015.  Also, we are looking to complete the suite of projects on the North Fork of the Salmon River in 2015.  This next year is looking to be as challenging, fulfilling and busy as 2014.
