Beaver Creek is a small coastal stream located in Lincoln County, Oregon, USA. Historically, the area around Beaver Creek was used by indigenous people for fishing, hunting, and other cultural practices. During the 20th century, the Beaver Creek watershed became an important center of timber harvesting and agriculture, which led to significant changes in the river's ecology and water quality.
In recent years, efforts have been made to restore the Beaver Creek watershed and its habitat. These efforts have included the implementation of best management practices to reduce sediment and nutrient runoff from agricultural activities, the removal of barriers to fish passage, and the restoration of riparian habitats along the stream. These restoration efforts have helped to improve the water quality of Beaver Creek and increase its value as a habitat for a range of fish and wildlife species.
Today, Beaver Creek is a popular destination for outdoor recreation, including fishing, hiking, and birdwatching. The restoration of the Beaver Creek watershed demonstrates the importance of conservation and restoration efforts in preserving the ecological and cultural heritage of coastal streams in the Pacific Northwest.
