The Councils meets the second Wednesday of each month at 7am.
In partnership with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Oregon StreamBank, and Bonneville Environmental Foundation, the Coos Watershed Association developed and funded an integrated watershed restoration program for the 18 square mile Bottom Creek watershed in the Weyerhaeuser Millicoma Tree Farm. This project will result in fixing the four remaining fish passage barriers (and includes installing a 93’ concrete bridge), installing about 200 road drainage culverts on high use, riparian adjacent roads, and improving in-stream complexity through wood placements along 5 miles of the mainstem and a major tributary. Particularly noteworthy is the intensive effectiveness monitoring for the project.
Large woody debris placement helps improve in-stream habitat in Bottom Creek in the Coos Watershed.
