If you have driven by Mono Lake in the last week, you might have seen trucks and heavy equipment working just east of Highway 395 below the Tioga Lodge.

Restoration work has started to rehabilitate the site from damage caused by illegal grading and rerouting a stream from its original channel in October 2016.

Heavy equipment is sorting, shredding, and turning 30 debris piles left in the project site for the last two years into mulch. The debris piles represent an opportunity to restore biomass and nutrients to the project area. After this work is complete, the heavy equipment will be gone, and the project will next focus on returning Post Office Creek to its original channel as it flows to Mono Lake below the highway. Restoration work will continue over the next several years and includes active monitoring of restoration progress for five years. Stay tuned for more detailed information as it becomes available.
