The Council meets the third Wednesday of each month at 5:30pm at the Santiam Travel Station.
The Moose Creek Steelhead Habit Improvement Project was implemented with the US Forest Service and resulted in over 60 full-length trees being placed into the prime steelhead waters of Moose Creek. The project required a variety of methods to place the logs, including helicopter, cable assisted “tree-tipping,” and falling directly into the creek. Additional log placements and riparian enhancement will occur in 2009, and local Sweet Home students will assist in monitoring and evaluating the project’s success. Project funding came from OWEB and federal Payments to Rural Counties.
