Living Snow Fence
To clear up the rumors surrounding this project-no it's not an asphalt road or an ultra light landing strips. It's...Lincoln County's second living snow
fence. The first living snow fence was installed 3 years ago North of Davenport on Highway 25. Thank you to the Medical Lake School kids for
helping plant new Rocky Mountain Junipers were some had died.

Terry Husseman Grant: Little Creek Recovery Project
The Terry Husseman Grant is funded through the Department of Ecology.
Project Description: The Lincoln County Conservation District will revegetate the stream channel where it has reached equilibrium, install an offsite
livestock watering tank, locate wood and boulders for sediment capture, place a bridge and stabilize adjacent banks, build an in-stream grade
control structure at an appropriate location in the stream, and build cattle exclusion fencing along one mile of Little Creek in Lincoln County.
For years, Little Creek has been head cutting, leaving vertical banks over 20 feet tall in places. The incised, exposed stream banks are eroding and
large amounts of sediment are being washed downstream toward Crab Creek.
