This year's projects were the first application of the experience gained from the "Scott River Riparian Woodland Revegetation Demonstration Project", funded by the Klamath Fisheries Restoration in 1994. The years 1994 and 1995 displayed a strong contrast in conditions favorable to revegetation: 1994 was the third driest on record in Scott Valley, while 1995 was one of the wettest in recent decades.

The 1995 plantings were considerably more successful that the Demonstration Project, due primarily to more reliable water sources for the planting areas. A total of approximately 27.5 acres were planted along the Scott River between Etna Creek and French Creek, as well as along Kidder Creek. The overall success rate was about 80%, as compared to 40% for the 1994 plantings. By site, survival ranged from 61 % to 90%.
