Fish habitat restoration in the Lemhi Basin is truly a community effort, requiring support from agencies, community members, ranchers, and local contractors alike. By replacing culverts with fish-friendly bridges, building and installing fish screens to keep fish out of irrigation systems, and providing strategic bank reconstruction, local contractors are helping to restore the invaluable fish habitat of the Lemhi River and its tributaries. Their commitment to caring for the place they call home has resulted in state-of-the art restoration projects, a boost in the local economy, and a healthier landscape.
