This comprehensive assessment integrates an analysis of historical conditions, including land-use patterns, disturbances, and long-term vegetative trends, with a contemporary evaluation of riverscape health, hydrogeomorphology, and landcover mapping. The assessment revealed that the meadow and riverscape are in a favorable ecological state and exhibit high functionality, despite the adverse effects of the 2021 Dixie Fire and historical land-use practices. The primary threat to the valley’s valuable rare fen and wet meadow habitats lies in a long-term trend of diminishing perennial herbaceous cover and concurrent conifer encroachment, which is indicative of a declining water table due to spring-fed channels becoming structurally starved, incised, and disconnected from adjacent surfaces. Conversely, the main Warner Creek channel demonstrates a relatively high degree of instream habitat complexity and follows a trend of increased riparian vegetation density. To mitigate the drying trend and preserve fragile meadow habitat, the report recommends low-impact, process-based restoration strategies, specifically manual conifer reduction and the installation of Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) in spring channels. These measures aim to restore water table elevation, enhance floodplain connectivity, and facilitate the expansion of wet-meadow habitat. Recommended Citation Weber, N., Purdy, S., & Strickland, S.
