Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The McKenzie Watershed Alliance will be awarded $7.5M to replace an aging, undersized bridge and improve access to over 10 miles of spawning and rearing fish habitat in Lower Quartz Creek. The project will benefit species such as the Upper Willamette Spring Chinook Salmon, and recreational species such as Cutthroat Trout.
The project area is considered to be the most important remaining area for natural production of Upper Willamette River Spring Chinook in the Willamette Basin. A significant fire in the area in 2020 and past land use practices have severely impaired the ecosystem.
This project is expected to ameliorate and prevent further fire and climate impacts by creating landscape-scale fire breaks, buffering flooding, preventing erosion, and creating cold water refuge habitat.
