PWA Time-Lapse and Project Videos
Forest, Ranch and Rural Roads
This video highlights the best practices for rural road construction and maintenance, based on PWA's Handbook for Forest, Ranch and Rural Roads, and features two of PWA's certified engineering geologists. It was made possible by a grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board and was collaboratively produced by PWA, Mendocino County Resource Conservation District and TOPO Collective. The source for this video, PWA's Handbook for Forest, Ranch and Rural Roads is available in Spanish and English at http://www.pacificwatershed.com/roadshandbook.

Headwaters Road Decommissioning
Pacific Watershed Associates partnered with the Bureau of Land Management, Pacific Coast Fish, Wildlife and Wetlands Restoration Association, and McCullough Construction to decommission abandoned logging roads in the Headwaters Forest Reserve. In this video, a series of road-related fillslope failures (landslides) are remediated with heavy equipment, preventing future sediment delivery to the Little South Fork Elk River, an important salmonid stream in coastal Northern California.

SF Elk Road Decommissioning
Pacific Watershed Associates partnered with the Bureau of Land Management, Pacific Coast Fish, Wildlife and Wetlands Restoration Association, and McCullough Construction to decommission abandoned logging roads in the Headwaters Forest Reserve. In this video, a failing logging road and landing constructed at the confluence of two small streams are decommissioned using heavy equipment. Implementation of this as well as other watershed restoration efforts in the Headwaters Forest Reserve are preventing future sediment delivery to the Little South Fork Elk River, an important salmonid stream in coastal Northern California.

Saintsbury Creek Restoration
PWA was hired by the Napa County RCD to design and supervise this stream channel restoration project on the Saintsbury Vineyards property in the Carneros Creek watershed. The main project components consisted of removing three failed earthen dams, upgrading and decommissioning stream crossings, channel and floodplain restoration, constructing cattle exclusion fencing, and re-vegetating the project area.
