Pacific Northwest streams have been wood-deficient and degraded for generations. In many locations wood removal and channel straightening have lead to incision, disconnecting streams from their floodplains. In eastern Washington State, upland forests are typically overstocked due to the legacy of forest fire suppression. By using excess coniferous trees as a stream restoration material, projects can occur at low cost using simple techniques.
