Update on Christmas for Coho

Christmas for Cohos is a year-round project. On May 7, volunteers aged 10 to 60 or so  from Tualatin River TU, Clackamas River TU and a couple of non-members made their way to Metro's North Logan Natural Area on the Clackamas River.

 

The team was led by Alex Salazar of the CRTU chapter with ODFW biologist Ben Walczak directing placement. Other conservation partners have been working to restore several river side channels in this area for the past 10 years or more. They have created a wonderful site for a quiet walk and excellent riverine habitat.

 

We added 500 donated holiday trees to the large woody material that was previously placed in the channels. Fry appeared like magic under the trees immediately upon placement. I'll take that as a big “Thank You”.
