Most of our recent collaborative projects have focused on forest restoration efforts in proximity to surrounding communities with the goal of reducing the risk of wildfire and potential threats to local communities. Now that these collaborative forest restoration projects are well underway, the SRNF is now resuming a collaborative fisheries restoration project that was initiated several years ago. Since the initial public scoping for the Six Rivers Aquatic Restoration project, the Six River National Forest and its partners have been busy conducting fieldwork to refine proposed aquatic and fisheries restoration activities. In 2017, the Coastal Conservancy approved funding for the Mid Klamath Watershed Council to jointly administer a grant, in collaboration with the Six Rivers NF to assist with fisheries, botany and archaeology surveys in support of project planning. The forest anticipates a public release of the draft Six Rivers Aquatic Restoration Environmental Assessment in late spring. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Many stakeholder groups, including the Karuk, Yurok, and Hoopa tribes, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service and local watershed restoration groups have expressed a keen interest in exploring partnerships and collaborative funding opportunities with the Forest Service to employ an “all lands” landscape and watershed approach to fisheries restoration.
