This aerial photograph shows the Upper North Fork Mattole watershed which has a mosaic of forests and grasslands. Note that the Upper North Fork in the lower portion of the photo has been widened as a result of debris torrents. This stream is a major source of sediment to the main Mattole River and often increases turbidity in the main river.
