Fossil Creek

The project would include placing sandbags or building plank structures to backwater into a forested wetland. The area had a very large ponded area, which was created by a beaver dam, but when the beavers moved a significant part of the wetland drained. PCSC would like to return it to its original size using volunteers to place structures in the stream below the pond where the previous beaver dam had been. The Pacific Coast Salmon Coalition will lead the project and will work with the landowner, Bloedel, to accomplish this end. The pond will be monitored for the presence and number of juvenile Coho and the structures will be monitored and maintained by PCSC.
