Woody Riparian Habitat Provides Vital Support for Wildlife
Latest Update: 2015
Woody riparian habitat along streams supports a diversity of wildlife by providing food, shelter, shading, inputs of organic matter, and movement corridors. Increases in area and width of riparian vegetation over time signal restoration progress and improved conditions for wildlife in the Delta.
The status and trend information for this indicator is currently under development and will be released on this page during a future update. Refer to the 2015 report to see the most recent update.
