Outstanding Project Landowner Award: Cathy Swanek & Family

Cathy Swanek and Family

Outstanding Project Landowner

Cathy Swanek and her family have been instrumental in bringing back fish passage to an important Coyote Creek tributary. Throughout this multi-phased project with many partners and facets, they’ve shown tremendous patience and flexibility. Just this June, we were able to celebrate the completion of their project on Bear Creek (Coyote Creek Trib), which is now open for year-round fish passage! Thanks, Cathy and family, for keeping the long-term vision for the Long Tom in sight!
