Weaver Creek Habitat Restoration Project

On July 1, 2026, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a Notice to Proceed to the Yurok Tribe for the Weaver Creek Habitat Restoration Project, authorizing work to enhance critical coho salmon habitat. The project includes the construction of 4.6 acres of new floodplain habitat and the revegetation of 10 acres of disturbed riparian areas to restore natural riparian functions and improve aquatic conditions essential for coho salmon recovery. The initiative is part of broader watershed restoration efforts led by the CDFW’s Watershed Restoration Grants Branch and is being executed by the Yurok Tribe, leveraging tribal expertise and stewardship of ancestral lands in northern California. The project's performance location is near 96093 in California, an area central to the ecological needs of the species. Primary points of contact for the project include Elizabeth Buttler, Policy and Outreach Manager at CDFW, who can be reached at elizabeth.buttler@wildlife.ca.gov or 916-594-3879, and Sandra Perez, Senior Environmental Specialist for the Yurok Tribe, contactable at sperez@yuroktribe.nsn.us or 707-457-0707. The project was officially posted in the state’s tracking system on July 3, 2026, with additional details available via the provided link to the CEQAnet portal. Although no solicitation number or NAICS code was assigned, the project falls under a grant-funded habitat restoration initiative, reflecting a collaborative approach between state agencies and federally recognized tribes to restore native species and ecosystems.
