March 16, 2016 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.
