The Ollala Creek project melded our restoration work with our education program more closely than anything else we have done. Our Limiting Factors Analysis identified juvenile passage, summer rearing habitat, and spawning gravel as limitations to salmon production. We replaced three barrier culverts with small bridges, and placed large wood in one stream reach. Through our education program, the local Toledo schools adopted Ollala Creek and helped with riparian plantings and monitoring – from tree growth to temperature to macroinvertebrates to exotic species. In addition, day camps bring students out to the creek to teach them about watershed science.
