Isolated Side Channels and Off-Channel Habitats
Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs acquired the 150-ac. conservation area in September 2017 (~$500,000). The property includes nearly a mile of mainstem Clackamas River.
Key restoration objectives for listed fish species include:
1. Re-connect and restore function to a major side channel.
2. Restore historical habitat that has been damaged by human impacts in the mainstem Clackamas River.
3. Restore functionality of the hot springs for an optimal benefit for Fish and Wildlife.
4. Restore riparian habitat on one side of the river.
5. Decrease trespassing by making campground inaccessible to the public.
