PWA’s Engineering Geologist Tom Leroy talks about the placement of the Large Wood structures near an old road crossing on Anderson Creek with Trout Unlimited Anna Halligan and Elizabeth MacKey and Usal Redwood Forest’s Chief Forester Linwood Gill. Anderson Creek is a 4-mile long tributary to Indian Creek, a prime Coho tributary to the South Fork Eel River. In 2017 and 2018, Usal Redwood Forest Company with the help of Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA),Trout Unlimited (TU) and Eel River Watershed Improvement Group, decommissioned approximately 2 miles of streamside roads. This prevents approximately 8,000 cubic yards of sediment from entering Anderson Creek on Usal Redwood Forest. In addition, PWA and the California Conservation Corp placed 43 Large Wood structures designed to sort sediment and create complex fish habitat. © Pacific Watershed Associates
