Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The National Forest Foundation will be awarded $3.8M to restore salmon habitat in Resurrection Creek, in an area historically altered by gold mining. Resurrection Creek is located on Kenai Peninsula, which supports one of the largest sport fisheries in North America.
The project will improve natural stream processes to 2 miles, restore or reconnect over 50 acres of historic floodplains and off-channel habitat, and restore over 70 acres of vegetation. This effort will support numerous salmon species and will support prey for Cook Inlet beluga whale, a NOAA species in the spotlight.
The work will provide numerous benefits to the small, rural community of the town of Hope and other surrounding Cook Inlet communities, such as flood reduction, outdoor recreation, and job creation.
