On October 16, operations began the ramp down of river releases from summer baseflow of 450 to 300 cubic feet per second. The decline in baseflow on October 16 is a management necessity. Scientists hypothesize adding pulse flows or increasing flow this time
of year could be beneficial for fall fish populations. Release amounts and times have been announced as the following:</div>

Indigenous people have long maintained relationships with elderberries. This food source carries medicinal benefits, famously made into elderberry syrup to promote a healthy immune system and<br>
fight respiratory illnesses. Animals, too, enjoy these berries as they ripen in the summer months. Elderberry trees serve as habitat

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In 1927, the famous ecologist Charles Elton (when he was 27 years old) set the stage for the modern ecological study when he published his great treatise “Animal Ecology.” In it, he penned: “<i>Food is the burning question
in animal society, and the whole structure and activities of the community are dependent upon questions of food-supply</i>” (Elton 1927). This sentiment is older than modern science of course – it reflects millennia of human history where people tracked great
animal migrations and observed relationships between animals and their environment.

Civil construction of the Upper Conner Creek project has wrapped for 2024. Despite the late start, crews from the Yurok Tribe Construction Corporation, The Yurok Tribe Fisheries Department and Hoopa Roads Department completed the first phase of construction
in just under two months. Working exclusively on river left at river mile 78.3 in Junction City, the civil construction crews focused on lowering the 5.7 acre floodplain expansion for juvenile rearing habitat and creating an enhanced riffle for spawning habitat.

Prior to construction of dams on the Trinity River, flow and river temperatures were synchronized throughout the watershed with seasonal ecology. Storms and snow melt floods regularly altered the stream channel, transporting sediments, wood and rocks. Seasonally
predictable disturbance helped maintain a healthy streambed and riparian forest. Disturbance was followed by growth, with wetted areas providing consistent habitat for insects, fish and frogs alike. Even though each year provided different conditions, there
was predictability with which aquatic and riverine species, like salmon, evolved to exploit.

You may have noticed a rather large insect fluttering down the river during the months of September and October. These insects are mayflies from the family Isonychiidae (eye-son-nic-ee-uh-day) (known in the fly-fishing community as Mahogany Duns or Slate Drakes).
Mayflies are unique in that they have two adult stages in their lifecycle while all other insects have one.

The removal of the Klamath Dams is the world’s largest fisheries restoration project and will yield benefits for decades to come. In this talk, Michael will give an overview of the Klamath and Trinity Basin’s geography, natural history, fisheries and finally
will talk about dam removal and future restoration efforts. This film is a must see if you are interested in how the process of dam removal works and how dam removal can affect river communities.</div>

Join us on Wednesday, October 23 at 6 PM at Trinity County Brewing Company for Science on Tap, featuring Dr. Eric Peterson Science Coordinator for the Trinity River Restoration Program. Before constructing the Trinity and Lewiston Dams, Chinook Salmon thrived
in the Trinity River. However, changes to the river’s flow have had a lasting impact on the species. While juvenile salmon numbers have improved, adult returns remain low, prompting ongoing efforts to understand and address these challenges. Eric’s presentation
will delve into the factors influencing the salmon life cycle and discuss how flow management might help.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/569642542299325" id="LPlnk672195" class="OWAAutoLink" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/569642542299325"> Event
