Tour a Coyote Creek basin project that improved fish passage on both private and public land!
Bear Creek is a tributary stream of Coyote Creek about 13 miles south of Veneta. The headwaters of Bear Creek offer native fish like cutthroat trout access to some of the best spawning and cold water habitat in the Coyote Creek basin. Barriers on adjacently private owned private property, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Lane County properties were replaced or corrected to allow fish to access this upstream habitat.This tour provides a great opportunity see the results of a collaborative effort to improve stream habitat and connectivity for fish in the southern end of the Long Tom Watershed. Learn why this area is important to native fish and wildlife, and how the voluntary efforts of property owners opened up a significant amount of important habitat.
