Mooretown Rancheria of Maidu Indians put together a crew of tribal members that were able to respond to the Park Fire restoration need prior to the onset of Fall rains. Butte County RCD was able to get permits and funding in record time to respond to this timely need at the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve and the Bidwell Park areas. The Mooretown Crew joined the CCC and were trained on site by Symbiotic Restoration. The structures were built over 6 weeks with rock and burnt wood and were in place prior to the big Fall rains, they filled with sediment and their success helped hold sediment on the burned landscape.
