Jessica will be presenting on the TU’s restoration work on the Kern Plateau, with a focus on the Golden Trout Wilderness Area. TU has been leading a landscape-level stream and meadow restoration project since 2019 and will be breaking ground on construction this summer. This restoration work will create more habitat for CA Golden Trout and provide for more water for headwater streams in the low flow season.
