Looking upstream at the primary beaver dam in a lush riparian zone.

Selfie of me smiling hugely with an expansive beaver influenced wetland upstream of the primary beaver dam.

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay & #BeerDay peeps♡ visited a beaver enhanced restoration site. Dang, beaver rock!! They completely overtook our hand built structures & blew it out (in a most excellent way). #BeaverBeliever #Beaver #SalmonRestoration #Nature

2/10 The Okanagan Dam Fish Passage bypasses the dam blocking Okanagan Lake, creating a route for multiple species:

• Sockeye salmon
• Chinook salmon
• Kokanee salmon
• Steelhead trout
• Rainbow trout

All can now migrate through the Columbia River to historic waters.

This is an incredible act of restoration on the Washington side of the Gorge. The salmon have returned after 65 years. #NativePlants #SalmonRestoration #CowlitzTribe #PNW www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Bd...

A group of scientists stand on a floodplain bar next to a constructed wood jam that was placed in a high flow side channel to provide winter habitat for native salmonids & acheive other ecological benefits. Lush green forests surround the site.

A color photo of gorgeous bright green clusters of maidenhair ferns & other native plants growing in the riparian habitat along an off-channel wetland.

Native columbine flowers red with yellow innards sprout up with a large hunk of downed wood in the background. The riparian habitats were loaded with a diverse range of flowers.

Happy #WoodJamWednesday peeps♡ we had a lovely site visit with our USFWS partners this week to talk about the next phases of tribal led salmon habitat restoration in a priority coastal stream. #SalmonRestoration #ProcessBasedRestoration #EcologicalStewardship 🌿

A constructed wood jam in a coastal California stream. There's a gravel bar in the foreground with a clear creek flowing around a wood jam comprised of huge to small wood. Lush green riparian forests are in the background with a blue sky & a few puffy white clouds above.

Much love to you peeps - Happy #WoodJamWednesday ♡ #ChaosJam #SalmonRestoration #CreekTime #Nature #GetOutside 🌿

View from a conference room is a long sandy beach with cliffs in the background. The ocean is a glorious blue green with some small waves & a line up of surfers & a partly cloudy sky.

"In the pipeline": Fish passage projects ramp up - Northwest Treaty Tribes In the effort to recover Northwest salmon populations, restoring access to spawning and rearing habitat is key. The Skagit River…

The Skagit River System Cooperative, formed by the Swinomish and Sauk-Suiattle tribes, is restoring access to fish spawning and rearing habitat through fish passage improvement projects, supported by the Salmon Recovery Funding Board and Puget Sound Energy. #salmonrestoration

Photo looking downstream from the banks of a constructed wetland (also called an alcove) with slightly turbid, but calm water with the main stream channel (much more turbid - brown) at the top of the photo. Baby salmon use these habitats to rest & feed - especially important during flood events when the creek is ripping fast & dirty.

Similar view of the constructed alcove but from a closer vantage point to it's connection with the stream channel - there are three small, crystal clear waterfalls draining into the alcove on the far bank.

Even closer view of the alcove's confluence with the turbid brown main channel. The water clarity in the alcove is dramatically better then the stream & the waterfalls are in the background.

Photo looking downstream at the main channel - the creek is flowing extremely fast & is very muddy - Not good baby salmon habitat!!!! We need more off-channel wetlands to help boost salmon recovery & improve ecological health.

Visited our constructed wetland in a coastal stream during high flows. Incredible to see the turbidity & velocity differences in the wetland versus the main channel. I sure know where I'd want to be if I were a baby salmon♡ #SalmonRestoration #WaterfallWednesday #WetlandWednesday #Nature #Wetlands

A series of beaver dam analogues & wood jams installed in a creek (flowing left to right) to improve habitat complexity, floodplain connectivity, & ecological function to support salmon recovery. A beautiful woody mess♡

Looking downstream at the back flooded habitat created by a series of beaver dam analogues & wood jams installed in a creek to support salmon recovery. A beautiful, deep, slow velocity habitat for baby salmon♡

Happy #WoodJamWednesday Visited one of our restoration sites in a Lower Klamath River tributary. I continue to be amazed by the transformation after installing & stewarding wood jams & beaver dam analogues. Water everywhere which is ideal for juvenile Coho Salmon 🌿 #SalmonRestoration #BeaverBeliever
