2014 Summer Conservation Crew Weekly Report

Report from 6/2/2014 thru 6/13/2014

For the first week in June the crew continued to work on Springs 5 just upstream of the Gottschalk cabin. The goal in this area is to narrow the stream as well as provide cover for adult and juvenile brook trout. Trees were cut and winched long distances as the area along the river is a large meadow, barren of easily accessible large woody debris. Construction began on structures this week and during the second week in June a total of 5 large woody debris structures were completed. On June 10th, two crew members floated a portion of the East branch of the Black River to remove log jams and downed trees. A total of 9 fallen trees/log jams that prevented canoe passage were removed in approximately 5 river miles.
