The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 awarded a $591,797.91 Project Grant to the Mid Klamath Watershed Council through the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance federal grant program (CFDA 15.608) to improve conditions for native fish and aquatic species habitat in Siskiyou County, California. Under the award, set to be completed by March 31, 2025, the Mid Klamath Watershed Council will use a helicopter to place 120 pieces of large wood into 2.5 miles of West Fork Beaver Creek, located on private land. The large wood structures are intended to restore stream structure, spawning and rearing habitat, and floodplain connectivity for target species including Chinook salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, and Pacific lamprey. The project aims to provide immediate benefits to native fish through increased cover and areas of low velocity habitat.
