Canton Creek
|
Stream and
restoration ecologist Charley Dewberry is on Canton Creek, a major tributary
of the North Umpqua river in Oregon. The Pacific Rivers Council and Charley
have been working on stream surveys to layout habitat restoration and
protection on the watershed that lies within O and C lands. Learn how forests
and wood is essential for the health of our salmon species. Just one piece of
wood can essentially create nature's hatchery.

Congo River: Artery of the Forest
|
Researchers from
the Woods Hole Research Center collected water samples from the Congo River
and its major tributaries to understand how climate change and land use
(agriculture, logging) can be measured through the properties of the water.
The epic journey took the team the length of the Republic of Congo from the
capital city of Brazzaville to the jungles of the far north. Along the way
the science team surveyed nearly 40 different rivers that are all part of the
massive Congo River watershed.

Restoring Juvenile Habitat - Oxbow
Conservation Area, Middle Fork John Day River
|
The Oxbow
Conservation Area, located on the Middle Fork John Day River, exhibits
critical habitat for Chinook salmon and steelhead. Dredge mining severely
channelized the riverbed in the 1940s leading to a straightened channel and
disconnected floodplain. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs teamed up
with a variety of partners to restore two miles of river channel affected by
mining. This film summarizes work accomplished in 2014 on the third of five
phases of restoration to the site.
