Meetings on problem
roads this Thursday
The Natural Resources Branch will host two
public meetings this Thursday, March 17, on two
habitat restoration projects.
The projects are the Coyote Creek sub-water-
shed restoration project at Log Springs, and the
Warm Springs River Problem Roads project.
The topics are being combined for tribal mem-
ber consideration, as both are in regard to fish and
wildlife habitat restoration.
The first public meeting will be at noon on March
17, at the Agency Longhouse; and the second meet-
ing will be on March 17 at 6 p.m. at the Simnasho
longhouse.
A light lunch will be served at the Agency meet-
ing; and a light dinner will be served at the Simnasho
meeting.
Tribal members are encouraged to participate in
project planning. They are welcome to voice con-
cerns, and provide valuable ideas and feedback on
these projects.
The projects involve de-commissioning certain
old logging roads that are detrimental to fish habi-
tat. The roads are also located in deer and elk cor-
ridors, impacting habitat for the animals.
The Log Springs project is in the Upper Coyote
Creek sub-watershed near Simnasho. The Warm
Springs River project involves a road that travels
along the river.
For more infor mation, contact Andrea
Karoglanian, tribal wildlife biologist, 541-553-2037;
or Jon Treasure, Natural Resources hydrologist,
541-553-2020.
