Program accomplishments

  • River, Stream and Upland Restoration Projects- Worked toward the removal of two large fish passage barriers, Aamodt Dam and the Scotts Mills Dam. Finished Year 2 of a rapid bio assessment of all important salmonid watershed streams. Worked on Year 2 of riparian restoration at two small publicly accessible sites, one in Silverton and another in Aurora. Did meadow restoration work at Silver Falls State Park. Began work on a native plant cutting block in Aurora.
    Expenses $89,384 · revenue $83,431
  • Fire recovery and resilience near waterways - Did a third year of maintenance (about four work days for each site) and a small amount of interplanting on three sites burned in the 2020 Beachie Creek Wildlife. As the climate changes we plan to continue wildlife response and mitigation work so that we can help community members prepare for and respond to fire on the landscape.
    Expenses $31,451 · revenue $33,328
  • Community outreach, landowner engagement, and ecological stewardship - An important part of a watershed council's job is engaging and educating the community around ecological issues in the watershed. In 2024 that engagement took a number of forms, including work w/ the City of Aurora and volunteers to maintain the Aurora Mills Green Space, connecting landowners who need trees or plants with resource on where to find those plants and sometimes delivering plants to them, attending community meetings to talk about the watershed, visiting landowners on their farm or place of residence to talk about potential restoration projects, tabling at community events to help people learn more about the watershed, inviting community members to our bi-monthly board meetings to share their concerns or ideas, and many other small projects.
