Kent Creek has had eastern brook trout, and was identified in 2003 as a recoverable habitat for bull trout. In 1999, a group of eight active nests at the creek's mouth was identified as one of two double-crested cormorant colonies in the Pend Oreille watershed.

Lake Aldwell was home to a population of kokanee sockeye salmon from Indian Creek and Lake Sutherland which, unable to access the Pacific Ocean, used the reservoir as their habitat during their adult lives. These salmon accessed the reservoir via Indian Creek and spawned in Lake Sutherland, just below Lake Crescent. The lake also contained bull trout, rainbow trout, and a population of introduced eastern brook trout.

Siskiyou phacelia has bell- shaped blue-purple flowers, blooms in summer, and grows in serpentine soils. The wilderness protects habitats for American black bears, deer, Douglas squirrels, California quail and rattlesnakes. Less common animals include the fishers, American martens, wolverines, northern pileated woodpeckers, North American beavers, California valley coyotes and North American cougars. Rainbow trout, eastern brook trout and brown trout are found in the lakes and streams.

While the Elwha Dam was in operation, Indian Creek sustained populations of kokanee sockeye salmon, which spawned in Lake Sutherland and migrated to Lake Aldwell to use as their ocean. It also contained stream resident coastal rainbow trout, coastal cutthroat trout, and introduced eastern brook trout. With the removal of the Elwha Dam in 2012, the native salmonids began a return to their anadromous lifestyle, with spawning activities of true anadromous Chinook salmon observed in late 2013.

Crystal Lake Hatchery raises different species of trout that are native and acclimated to Northeastern California. They breed Eagle Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Pit River Strain), and the Eastern Brook Trout. Eagle Lake trout- These trout are caught in the Pine Creek Fish trap, which feeds into and is located about a mile from Eagle Lake (Lassen County). These fish are really unique in a way that they are tolerant of alkaline water and they only live in Eagle Lake and Pine Creek.

Several grouse species, the sooty, spruce, and ruffed grouse and the white-tailed ptarmigan, call the forests and the lower slopes of the mountain home. The streams and lakes around Adams offer a number of fish for the angler to seek out. The two most common species, eastern brook trout and rainbow trout (Columbia River redband trout), are in nearly every lake and stream. Brown trout and cutthroat trout appear in most of the lakes in the High Lakes Area and three lakes are home to tiger trout.

The National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) is an attempt to conserve (protect, restore, enhance) freshwater, estuarine and marine waterways and fisheries in the United States. The National Fish Habitat Partnership was established as the National Fish Habitat Action Plan in 2006. The National Partnership is the umbrella for 20 Fish Habitat Partnerships established across the country that focus on regions, species or systems (specific examples include: Pacific Marine and Estuarine Partnership, the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture and the Reservoir Fisheries Habitat Partnership). The Partnership has brought together fisheries professionals and other partners with a shared interest in restoring waterways and fisheries in the United States.

Brook trout populations across large parts of eastern Canada have been similarly challenged; a subspecies known as the aurora trout was extirpated from the wild by the effects of acid rain. Today, in many parts of the range, efforts are underway to restore brook trout to those waters that once held native populations, stocking other trout species only in habitats that can no longer be recovered sufficiently to sustain brook trout populations. Organizations such as Trout Unlimited and Trout Unlimited Canada are partnering with other organizations such as the Southern Appalachian Brook Trout Foundation, the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture, and state, provincial, and federal agencies to undertake projects that restore native brook trout habitat and populations.

He observed only sparse growth of trees on lava flows from Little Belknap in a report published in the 1980s, noting that soil from Belknap was about thick and made up of lapilli and volcanic ash, which came mostly from Belknap Crater. Along the trail to Little Belknap Crater, there is a tree island with lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock, and true fir. There are also ground squirrels running around on lava flows from Belknap. Along the Oregon Skyline Trail, which passes west of Belknap, there are black-tailed and mule deer as well as lakes stocked with Eastern brook trout Along the western flows produced by Belknap, there are several dozen tree molds, which range from in diameter and in depth.
