Last weekend I planted trees with the Mazamas up at Salmon River Trail. There is a Conservation group inside of the Mazams and this was one of there events.
I leaned quite a bit about the salmon and what we can do to help the bring the salmon numbers back to where they can be fished.
A fish biologist and the Sandy River Basin Watershed Council led the tree planting. We met up at Zig Zag Ranger Station and then took a drive up to the Salmon River Road. This was a road that the Forest Service decommissioned. The Forest Service is realizing that some of the logging roads are too many to maintain and there use has been limited so they decided to take out the roads and decommission them.
This is one of those roads, and the Forest Service is making a trail out of it. We planted Douglas Fir , and took out some Sword Ferns from the side of the road the replaced them around the trail.
