Getting ready for Fall return of Salmon

Work is nearly complete in the first phase of restoration work at the McKenzie River Trust's Finn Rock Reach. The area includes dozens of acres where gravels and large wood sections were added to mimic the effect a big flood could have had on wetlands and stream-side channels before upstream dams were built. The project was designed to benefit threatened and endangered salmon, who use this area for spawning and rearing. To follow progress online, go to: alturl.com/34amm.
