Agencies take wood to streambed problems in Canyon, Owl creeks

Scott Swanson

A mile-long section of Canyon Creek has gotten work this summer that is expected to create enhanced fish habitat and help keep the stream within its historic channel.

On Friday, Oct. 5, an H-46 Sea Knight chopper operated by Columbia Helicopters of Portland picked up some 70 logs – full-length uprooted trees – and relocated them to strategic spots in Canyon and Owl creeks, about seven miles from Highway 20.
