Rod,

Sure, but you can just as easily do it yourself by just sending the
e-mail to env-trinity at mailman.dcn.org, and it should automatically go
through being that you are a member. If it is over 75kb, I would have to
moderate it for approval. I'll do it this time, but please keep the
list-serve submission address for future reference. Thanks.

Blown-down trees windfall for streams

Wind, fire, floods . . . the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
finds a silver lining in everything nature can throw at the state. 

Especially trees. 

The agency, with help from the U.S. Forest Service and Oregon State
Parks and a $28,750 grant from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board,
is collecting as many 20-inch (diameter) trees as possible from a
veritable forest that blew down along the central Oregon Coast during
December windstorms. Downed trees 40 to 50 feet long are destined to be
placed in several streams to provide rearing habitat for small salmon
and steelhead, capture gravel and create side channels for both juvenile
and adult fish. 

Four log-truckloads of conifer logs have been collected so far, and as
many as 10 more might be collected from the December windfall. 

Jason Kirchner, a department fish habitat biologist, said he has
planned seven to 10 projects next summer to improve 12 to 15 miles of
streams. He'll use 10 to 200 logs per project. 'The Douglas fir,
hemlock, and spruce trees we have collected will last for decades,' he
said. Over in LaPine, the department and Forest Service are collecting
about 200 conifer logs -- roots attached -- killed in a 2005 fire at
LaPine State Park. 

The Watershed Enhancement Board is also funding the salvage with a
grant of $7,700. 

For two weeks, workers have been setting trees in the upper Deschutes
River to stabilize eroding shorelines, create habitat and capture
spawning gravel for trout.
