Restoration Field Trip: Mill & Beaty Creeks

  • Alsea Public Library 19192 Alsea Highway Alsea, OR, 97324 United States (map)

MidCoast Watersheds Council invites you to join us for a tour of past and ongoing work on Mill & Beaty Creeks, near the town of Alsea. We’ll guide you through the restoration project, where over 300 logs have been placed to create complex stream habitats and two fish passage barriers have been replaced. We will visit during a period of higher water and experience how the newly widened floodplain creates healthier habitat for native coho salmon and other wildlife.

MidCoast Executive Director Evan Hayduk will discuss how you can support restoration projects on your own river, stream, or bayside properties. Please come prepared to walk through sections of mud and uneven ground. Bringing water and snacks is recommended.

Whether you are curious about the what and whys of restoration or if you have interest in helping, we hope to see you at our upcoming event. Tell your neighbors and we look forward to seeing you there!

Location: Meet in Alsea Library Parking Lot at 4 PM
