The Council meets every second Tuesday at 7pm at the Lakeside Senior Center.
The Swanson Bridge #3 and associated fencing was implemented on Dick Swanson’s 165 acre property on Johnson Creek, a tributary to South Tenmile Lake. Donated steel I-beams helped project partners dramatically reduce the cost of this 35' x 12' steel I-beam bridge that improved fish passage to approximately 7 miles of habitat. The council's wooden top rail fence design reduces maintenance and allows safe crossing for wildlife. In addition, these fences have helped change negative perceptions of fencing along Tenmile streams.
Top rail fencing and a new bridge add to the health and beauty of Johnson Creek in the Tenmile Lakes Basin watershed.
