V Page 16 The INDEPENDENT, January 17, 2001 Wolf Creek in state plans for salmon habitat restoration projects The Upper Nehalem Water shed Council in partnership with the Oregon Department of Forestry will be restoring thir teen sites on Wolf Creek this summer thanks, in part, to a re cent grant of nearly $10,000 from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB). The grant will fund the placement of 44 whole conifers, including branches and root wads, in ten sites on the mainstem of North Fork Wolf Creek, a major tributary of the upper Nehalem River. An additional 16 chunks of large wood will be placed in three sites in a tributary of North Fork Wolf Creek. According to the council, salmon habitat quality is limited in Wolf Creek by a lack of large wood, an important natural component of stream structure and habitat functions for sum mer Chinook, winter steelhead and coho salmon. Some of the restoration site is viewable from Highway 26, so motorists may get an oppor tunity to see watershed restoration work in action. Work is expected to take place between July 15 and August 30. ODF will be responsible for placing the large woody debris instream, under the direction of Dave Plauman, ODF biologist.
