The SacWaterForum has successfully completed its 2024 Habitat Project at River Bend, restoring nearly 5 acres of critical habitat for fall-run Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. Highlights include: ✔️ A new 1,800-foot-long side channel to protect juvenile fish ✔️ 6,800 cubic yards of clean, native gravel for spawning ✔️ Over 2 acres of riparian habitat enhanced with native vegetation “This site is pivotal—it’s one of the first suitable areas salmon encounter as they migrate upstream,” says Erica Bishop, Water Forum Program Manager. 🚨 Why it Matters: These efforts replicate natural river processes that have been disrupted by dams, ensuring salmon and steelhead have safe places to spawn, grow, and thrive.

Lumber, a crucial natural resource, has been essential to human civilization for thousands of years, with diverse uses from home construction to tool-making. One of its significant but often overlooked roles is in the railroad industry. #NaturalResources #SustainableForestry https://lnkd.in/gpuRZtRV

Ecological restoration is essential!
The salmon have come home. Klamath dam removal was completed mere weeks ago, but salmon have already made it to Oregon. Jefferson Public Radio reached out to Dan Chase, Director, Fisheries, Aquatics & Design for RES. “Those crews were out right away getting surveys done to be able to get these early detections of fish coming back,” says Chase. Together, these groups are “weaving together this network of information that's being shared to understand where and when these fish are coming back and where they're showing up.” As the fish return, they find a new landscape—one that does not resemble the streams they were in before the dams and one that is still raw and changing from the removal of reservoirs only months prior. As the restoration contractor for this epic project, our responsibility is to accelerate recovery in those formerly drowned lands by connecting floodplains, shaping channels, adding habitat, and reestablishing native plant communities. https://lnkd.in/gdEvRNse Video from Swiftwater Films Inc #KlamathRiverRenewal #KlamathRiverRestoration #WeAreRES #Klamath #California #Oregon

@Inhabitect is proud of our ongoing partnership with The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay and the pivotal role we played in the Kid's Creek Riparian Restoration and Wetland Enhancement Project. By leveraging our expertise in sustainable design and green infrastructure, our team has been working hard to restore the natural habitat, improve water quality, and enhance the overall health of our local ecosystem. The project is in a degraded wetland, along a major tributary to Grand Traverse Bay, that was almost entirely comprised of invasive species and devoid of a natural riparian buffer following historic farming activities and development. To help restore this area and combat the detrimental effects of pollutants in stormwater runoff, a 1-acre engineered wetland now pre-treats and filters over 1.1 million gallons of stormwater per year, before it enters the creek that eventually flows into #GrandTraverseBay. We also restored 4800 linear feet of stream by installing a riparian buffer consisting of 457 trees, 1050 shrubs, 1500 live stakes, 3078 plugs, and 1.4 acres of native seed! In addition, we installed 6 habitat/wildlife structures and treated 4.5 acres of invasive species! Wave hello next time you see our team installing more trees, performing maintenance, or monitoring the process of our installations at Kids Creek near @Meijer along Silver Lake Road in #TraverseCity! #nativeplants #landscapedesign #ecologicallandscaping #plantingtrees #designbuildgrow #nativetrees #ecologicalrestoration #wetlandrestoration #stormwatermanagement #riparianrestoration #greeninfrastructure https://lnkd.in/gsKn_gMg

We must remember that we all live upstream and downstream from one another. The clean water you use in your house, factory, or office will flow to another user who is just as dependent on it as you are. Tarryn is correct that dirty water is expensive to purify. We must change our understanding from an upstream or downstream perspective and invoke an upstream-and-downstream understanding - nobody lives upstream or downstream from other water users; we are all upstream and downstream in the water supply chain. This changes the argument that access to water is a constitutional right to the use of water as a constitutional responsibility.

MAKE SOME NOISE - THIS IS YOUR LIFE SOURCE ! After we had tested the Sandspruit at Innisfree Park near Grayston, we headed downstream to the bridge that we had crossed over on the way up.. This is absolutely horrendous, fast flowing full speed SEWAGE headed straight for the clear Sandspruit Waters.. This is definitely a stormwater channel, but without the stormwater. Sewerage and Stormwater usually run relatively in line with Rivers, as this is the lowest point.. but they're not supposed to meet, although sadly, these days it doesn't seem to bother too many people. shrug it off, look the other way, point fingers everywhere and moan.. I'm just going to leave this here: Dirty Water is more expensive to treat, Clean Water is everyone's business, OUR lives depend on it!!
