- The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 awarded $861,000 under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) to the Scott River Watershed Council on September 30, 2022 for completion by September 30, 2025. The Project Grant will support the Sugar Creek Coho Salmon Refugia Project Phase 2 and 3 to construct an additional one acre of slow, cold water rearing habitat connected to one acre of existing floodplain habitat. This will result in a total of...
- The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 awarded a $124,345 cooperative agreement to the Klamath Watershed Partnership under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631) to install low-tech process-based restoration structures in the North Fork Sprague River from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2027. The Klamath Watershed Partnership and Service will work together to install beaver dam analogs and post-assisted log structures to improve water quality for...
- This $233,037.38 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife (CFDA 15.631) program will fund habitat restoration and conservation activities on private lands in Bly, Oregon. The primary focus is to address erosion issues and improve habitat for redband trout and other fish species in the South Fork Sprague River system. Key activities include installing wood structures and adding large wood and rocks to...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631) will provide $150,000 to the Northwest California Resource Conservation & Development Council to continue implementing erosion control treatments and expand inventory efforts to identify additional high-priority sediment source sites in the Scott River watershed and nearby watersheds in Northern California. The key objectives...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631), awarded a $100,000 Cooperative Agreement to enhance riparian and instream habitat along one mile of the Wood River in Oregon. The project aims to add approximately 50 large woody debris structures to the river to increase habitat complexity and benefit species like bull trout, Lost River and shortnose suckers, and redband trout. Additional benefits are expected for riparian-dependent birds,...
- Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary This $260,000 cooperative agreement, awarded October 1, 2025, by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631), supports stream restoration and habitat recovery efforts on a ranch property in Fort Klamath, Oregon. Trout Unlimited, Inc., in partnership with the USFWS and the private landowner, will reconnect a historic side-channel of Annie Creek to the mainstem creek by retiring the final irrigation...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631), awarded a Cooperative Agreement valued at $172,101 to the Scott River Watershed Council, effective October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for January 31, 2029. The project will restore spawning and rearing habitats for coho salmon in Wildcat Creek, a tributary within the Scott River watershed in the Klamath Basin ecoregion. Deliverables include construction of three wood structures and six beaver dam analogs (BDAs)—wooden post structures with woven native materials designed to mimic natural beaver dams—strategically placed within the creek to slow flows and create optimal habitat conditions. In addition to instream structures, the project will grade and enhance the floodplain and existing side channels through placement of roughness elements consisting of large logs, thereby improving floodplain and side channel connectivity with Wildcat Creek. These physical modifications will collectively generate slow-water rearing habitat, sort gravel substrates suitable for spawning, and support coho salmon recovery objectives. The project implements identified recovery actions and aligns with Department of Interior strategic objectives focused on species and natural resources protection and collaborative partnerships with states, private entities, and governmental partners for species population and health support.Summary
