On this particular day, and for the rest of the week, we have a guest crew member from King County. At the start of the day we seemed to have a rather hard time finding a provider for the river rocks that we needed for today’s events. But will a little perseverance we succeeded. We used a variety of rock sizes to close up the gaps in larger rocks that had been placed along the stream bank for stabilization. This will help redirect the flow of water in order to minimize erosion. We plugged the main holes with larger rocks and tamped the finer rocks through the cracks with rock bars. This river is a tributary to the Yakima River and will become a major spawning ground for Chinook salmon. Later in the day we cleared debris that was clogging a ditch which had been dug earlier in the year to provide water to cottonwood trees down stream (pictures not available).
