Project goals include: improving spawning and rearing habitat for fish, enhancing and expanding riparian and wetland habitats, improving riparian area protection, facilitating fish passage, and eliminating the risk of fish entrainment into irrigation ditches. Racetrack creek, a tributary to the upper clark fork river is near racetrack, montana in the deer lodge valley.
