Deer Creek Watershed WildlifeAbout Deer Creek Watershed Wildlife
Sierra Streams Institute is a Citizen-science organization in Nevada City, CA, where we work with the local community to monitor water quality, restore degraded habitat and track changes in our local ecosystems. This project uses wildlife cameras placed at sites throughout our watershed where we are currently implementing vegetative restoration (i.e. removal of invasive species, planting of natives, and other vegetation management) to ask: does vegetative restoration improve or degrade wildlife habitat, and which animals are using the habitat more or less than before the project? Data will then be used to improve our restoration approach to improve whole-ecosystem response to restoration.
