About

WATERSHED ENHANCEMENT - - CLACKAMAS RIVER BASIN COUNCIL (CRBC) PARTNERS WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AGENCIES AND OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO COMPLETE IN- STREAM AND RIPARIAN ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS. TOGETHER WE IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AND ENHANCE FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT.

DURING THE 2018 IN-WATER WORK PERIOD, RESTORATION ON NEARLY ONE MILE OF THE NORTH FORK CLACKAMAS RIVER WAS COMPLETED. RESTORATION CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES INCLUDED RESTORING SIDE CHANNELS AND ADDING LARGE WOOD HABITAT STRUCTURES TO IMPROVE HABITAT FOR FISH AND 1.25 ACRES OF STREAMBANK VEGETATION WORK TO REPLACE NON-NATIVE PLANTS WITH NATIVE TREES AND SHRUBS. ANOTHER PROJECT, ON CLEAR CREEK, INVOLVED ENHANCING HABITAT WITH LARGE WOOD, INCREASING FLOODPLAIN INUNDATION DURING HIGH RIVER FLOWS AND PROVIDING FISH LOW-FLOW ACCESS TO OFF-CHANNEL HABITAT. THE PROJECT ADDRESSES KEY LIMITING FACTORS IDENTIFIED IN THE UPPER WILLAMETTE AND LOWER COLUMBIA RIVER CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY PLANS. THE COUNCIL PLANTED OVER 75,000 NATIVE PLANTS DURING THE WINTER ALONG MORE THAN 5 STREAM MILES. DURING THE 10 YEAR SHADE OUR STREAMS, SUPPORTED BY PGE, MORE THAN 300,000 NATIVE TREES WILL BE PLANTED, RESTORING STREAMSIDE HABITAT AT NO COST TO PROPERTY OWNERS. AS OF 2018 - THE FINAL YEAR OF PLANTING - MORE THAN 30 MILES OF RIPARIAN BUFFER AREAS (STREAMBANK) HAVE BEEN PLANTED. THE FINAL YEARS OF THE PROGRAM INVOLVES PLANT ESTABLISHMENT ACTIVITIES. ESTABLISHING NATIVE PLANT BUFFERS AROUND STREAMS HAS MANY ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS. REPLACING INVASIVE WEEDS WITH NATIVE PLANTS PROMOTES DIVERSE HABITATS AND PROVIDES SOURCES OF FOOD AND COVER FOR BIRDS AND WILDLIFE. NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE WEEDS ARE SEEN ALONG OUR STREAMS AND REQUIRE ATTENTION FOR MAINTAINING IDEAL STREAM CONDITIONS, WATER QUALITY AND FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT. PLANTINGS ALSO OCCUR IN ROCK CREEK WATERSHED, SUPPORTED BY CLACKAMAS COUNTY WATER ENVIRONMENT SERVICES, AND IN AREAS OF THE WATERSHED WHERE IN-STREAM RESTORATION PROJECTS ARE IMPLEMENTED. ONE SUCH RESTORATION PROJECT IS AT THE CONFLUENCE WHERE ROCK CREEK MEETS THE CLACKAMAS RIVER.
