The Nehalem Basin Partnership is hosting a series of site tours and public meetings to share salmon habitat restoration work that has been done in the Nehalem Watershed. Public Meetings will be held from 4-6 pm on July 13th, August 4th, and August 17th in the Gallery Room at the North County Recreation District.
These meetings will be an opportunity to learn about habitat restoration opportunities available to residents of the Nehalem Watershed as well as past and present projects. This meeting will feature a screening of Nehalem Bay Watershed Council’s documentary about wood placements on West Fork Coal Creek, a slide show of current and past restoration projects, and tables with representatives from Soil and Water Conservation Districts, The Backyard Planting Project, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The goal of these meetings is to share the available restoration opportunities with landowners and encourage them to sign up to explore restoration opportunities on their own properties. Landowners who sign up will be contacted to schedule a visit where their property goals and habitat restoration opportunities will be explored. Then they will have the opportunity to get scheduled into the Nehalem Basin Partnership’s 10-year work plan!
