  • Chapter 5 State(S): Oregon Recovery Unit Name: Willamette River
    Chapter 5 State(s): Oregon Recovery Unit Name: Willamette River Recovery Unit Region 1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to recover and protect listed species. Plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and, in this case, with the assistance of recovery unit teams, contractors, State and Tribal agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or indicate the approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Literature Cited: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2002. Chapter 5, Willamette River Recovery Unit, Oregon. 96 p. In: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) Draft Recovery Plan. Portland, Oregon. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Two working groups are active in the Willamette River Recovery Unit: the Upper Willamette (since 1989) and Clackamas Bull Trout Working Groups. In 1999, these groups were combined, and, along with representation from the Santiam subbasin, comprise the Willamette River Recovery Unit Team.

    Willamette Valley Voices: Connecting Generations In This Issue A Journal of Willamette Valley History This edition of Willamette Valley Voices: Connecting Generations is the first of the Willamette Volume 1 Summer 2012 Number 1 Heritage Center’s new biannual publication. The goal of the journal is to provide a showcase for scholarly writing pertaining to History and Heritage in the Oregon’s Willamette Valley, south of Portland, written by scholars, students, heritage professionals and historians - professional and amateur. The Importance of Public Space as Community Anchors Its purpose is to promote historical scholarship focused on the communities of the area. Each edition is Joy Sears themed to orient authors and readers to widely varied and important topics in Valley history. 4 Willamette Valley Voices’ first edition shares articles about Public Spaces. Public spaces, both built and Dancing its Way into your Heart: Cottonwoods Ballroom 1930-1960 natural, anchor the Valley’s communities and shape and inform community identities.

    UPDATE SOUTH FORK MCKENZIE RIVER WATERSHED ANALYSIS McKenzie River Ranger District Willamette National Forest September 2010 Photo: Roaring Springs Prepared by: McKenzie River IDT ____________________________ Mary Allison District Ranger McKenzie River Ranger District South Fork McKenzie River WA Update EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1994 the Record of Decision for the Northwest Forest Plan was signed. That same year a “pilot” watershed analysis was completed for the South Fork McKenzie watershed by employees of the Willamette National Forest and the Blue River Ranger District. The South Fork McKenzie Watershed Analysis (1994) thoroughly documented existing conditions in the South Fork and made recommendations on restoration actions and management activities. In 2010 the employees of the McKenzie River Ranger District were charged with updating the 1994 analysis. With limited funding the interdisciplinary team sought to update the original watershed analysis with information on the existing condition, completed restoration projects, and recommendations for future activities. Significant changes have occurred in the fisheries and recreation arenas. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has constructed a water temperature control tower at Cougar Dam that has restored the historic temperature regime to the South Fork McKenzie downstream of the dam. More recently, the Corps of Engineers completed an adult fish collection facility downstream of Cougar Dam to collect and transport spring Chinook salmon, bull trout, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout upstream of the dam during their spawning migrations. By the end of calendar year 2010 the Corps of Engineers will decide on how to implement safe and effective downstream passage for native fishes. There are 16 developed recreation sites within the South Fork watershed, and of these, ten are operated under a concessionaire special use permit.
