Elk Creek Restoration Site

Starting in 2017, Rogue River Watershed Council (RRWC) set to work to begin restoring Wild & Scenic Elk Creek. During the 2020 phase one of this project, RRWC installed large wood structures in strategic locations throughout more than two miles of channels, reconnected a seasonal side channel, and began treating 30 acres of floodplain forest to assist in native vegetation recovery.

We are grateful and excited to engage the public in monitoring this site. In the summer of 2025, we will continue the restoration by adding an additional 23 large wood structures, enhance another 0.45 miles of seasonal side channels, and recover 16.8 more acres to a native plant community.  Some of this collective work can be monitored from this station.
