We’ve been working to protect and restore the North Umpqua since our founding because it’s one of the key remaining wild salmon and steelhead rivers left on the West Coast. Our long-running snorkel survey project, for which we’ve partnered with a local charter school, documents the abundance and distribution of wild steelhead and lays the groundwork for restoration. We’ve expanded that project into the newly minted Frank and Jeanne Moore Wild Steelhead Sanctuary, legislation we crafted to protect 100,000 acres of the Steamboat Creek watershed as a cold water refuge. We’re also working to remove the Winchester Dam on the lower river.
