Excerpt from press release:

 

"Eureka, CA -- The Alliance for Sustainable Jobs and the Environment (ASJE)
is proud to announced the winners of their 2007 Restoration Awards in
anticipation of their Sixth Annual "Road to a Restoration Economy"
Celebration and Awards.   

 

"The Thursday evening affair features State Assemblymember Patty Berg at the
Wharfinger Building,  #1 Marina Way in Eureka.  This free public event
starts at 6 pm and goes until 8:30.  This event is being sponsored by the
Redwood Community Action Agency, the Mattole Restoration Council and Wendt
Construction of Fortuna. 

 

".The Restoration Project of the Year is being presented to the Yurok Tribal
Watershed Department for their McGarvey Creek Slope Stabilization Project.
Department manager Walt Lara III explained to the Yurok Today newspaper that
the crew has been working since 1997 in the nine-mile square watershed
feeding into the Klamath River at Klamath Glenn.  Watershed restoration
treatments including extensive road re-contouring and labor intensive
removal of old Humboldt-style creek crossings prevented massive amounts of
sediment from choking the historically rich spawning grounds."
