This past biennium the Elk Creek Watershed Council replaced a number of failing or undersized culverts and improved habitat for Coho salmon along Elk Creek. Two culverts were replaced with a concrete bridge and two others were replaced with railroad car bridges. The council also installed more than 100 large logs at thirty sites along more than a mile of prime Coho spawning and rearing habitat. In addition, twenty log and boulder structures were created to trap gravel and create additional habitat for salmon.
New bridge constructed in the Elk Creek Watershed.
