Please join us for our presentation on March 19th at 6:00pm at Cork Wine Shop (1106 12th Street, Hood River). Please register to attend due to limited space.
Alix Danielsen, Watershed Group Restoration Project Manager, and Steve Rodriguez, engineer with Wolf Water Resources, will present on the Tony Creek Fish Passage Project that was implemented in 2023. This project included 300 feet of stream channel reconstruction to allow for fish passage over a low head diversion dam. The project opened up access to five miles of critical clearwater habitat for several threatened fish species. This project was one of two remaining high priority fish passage barrier in the watershed on Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s statewide list and is a major accomplishment for the watershed!
Join us in person at Cork Wine Shop at 6:00 pm to hear Watershed Group project and member updates, followed by the presentation. Show up between 5 and 6pm for a social hour at Cork. Wine and beer will be available for purchase; snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be complimentary.
