Abstract
This project is restoring an additional 50 acres of riparian habitat along the Santa Clara River, building on large-scale restoration efforts that have successfully rehabilitated over 1,000 acres. These efforts are the result of a coordinated partnership between UCSB, the Santa Clara River Conservancy (SCRC), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). Restoration implementation incorporates climate-resilient techniques and tree genotypes identified through our climate change adaptation research. Vegetation and wildlife responses are being monitored to assess the effectiveness of these strategies and guide future restoration projects.
