2014 Summer Conservation Crew Weekly Report

Report from 6/16/2014 thru 6/26/2014

The week of the 16th started out with first aid and CPR training for the crew as well as a chainsaw safety demonstration. There was rain early in the week which made the river levels high but construction continued on LWD and SWD structures on the Black River. The crew made cables while the storm prevented work on the river. A total of 3 LWD structures were completed between Spring 2 and Spring 5 near trail 94. The structure on Spring 2 was built along a large silt bed and will collect an abundance of silt and sediment. The structures built on Spring 5 will provide cover for adult and juvenile fish while also narrowing the stream and creating flow diversity. Work will continue in this area.
