Silver Creek Project 2000SILVER CREEK PROJECT A ROUSING SUCCESS The Ted Trueblood Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the Emmett Ranger District of the Boise National Forest held its stream project May 20-21, 2000 at the Silver Creek Plunge Resort. Restoration activities included both temporary and permanent riparian fence construction, and rebuilding the abutments on the main bridge across Silver Creek to the resort to provide for handicapped access. Some spot work with jute log "waddles" also occurred to spur some streambank stabilization. Over a dozen members of the Trueblood Chapter participated. The Emmett Ranger District treated everyone to a barbeque after a day of hard but rewarding work. The most hardy volunteers stayed over and did some more work on Sunday. Chet Bowers made the trip and took some nice photos. The Emmett Ranger District also had photographers on site documenting the work done and the progress made to date. See some photos and video clips at the Boise National Forest website where there is great stuff on this restoration project, including live action of TU members doing the work and special photography! |
