WATERSHED PIX
The first two photos show Salmon Creek in full flood and then on a milder
day
the same area with plantings and a Willow revetment built as part of
the project
.


The Federal Northwest Emergency Assistance Program (NEAP), is providing
funding for labor. The project is intended to provide temporary employment
to commercial salmon fishermen who have been put out of work by federal
fishing-area closures. The habitat restoration will not only benefit
the spawning steelhead, salmon and their fry, but should put more fish
in offshore fisheries. These 2 photos show the fisherfolk at work building
a Willow revetment and planting Willow trees in the riparian corridor.


Special thanks to Alistair Bleifuss for the great photos.
