Clear Fork E Muddy Creek Barrier Completed

Last month, we updated you on the Progress on the Clear Fork E Muddy Barrier Project. This week, it has been completed. In the next few years, approximately 13 miles of green lineage Colorado River Cutthroat Trout (CRCT) habitat will be restored. With the goal to increase the overall cutthroat population and to restore inter-connectivity of smaller tributaries, this project will be a catalyst to surrounding cutthroat projects allowing subsequent stocking out of Clear Fork and into adjacent watersheds.
