Their general meeting is the last Wednesday of every month at 6:30, usually in Mapleton at the Mapleton Grange Hall.
Over 535 trees, some with root wads, were placed with a Chinook helicopter on 14 miles of stream. The US Forest Service, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Siuslaw Watershed Council, Blachly-Lane Electric Co-op, and eleven private landowners collaborated to make this project a success. The whole trees will provide refuge for the fish. Over time, spawning gravels will be retained by the large wood structures and pools will be formed providing habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms. This OWEB- funded project continues a 2001 large wood restoration project on streams in the upper Deadwood watershed area.
