2014 Summer Conservation Crew Weekly Report

Report from 7/1/2014 thru 7/11/2014

During the first week in July the crew was sent to remove an overhanging cedar tree at the location of the old Saunders dam. A nearby location also contained a large beaver dam, which over a few days, was also removed. Throughout this two week period the crew finished up work on Spring 5 near Trail 94. A total of 8 LWD and SWD structures were completed and another structure was built on Spring 6. This section of river was previously a wide shallow, gravel reach with very little cover along the river bank other than tag alders. There are now 16 structures in this area. With the addition of these structures the crew successfully narrowed the stream and also provided much needed cover for adult and juvenile brook trout.
