Coweeman, Nineteen, and Skipper Creek Restoration
This restoration project in Cowlitz County aims to restore natural processes and wood loading rates to 0.7 miles of the Coweeman River and 0.6 miles of tributary habitat.
Lower Cowlitz River - Delameter Barrier Removal
In September of 2023, LCFEG removed a 13-foot-wide steel culvert servicing a private road over an unnamed tributary of Delameter Creek. Removing the barrier and reconnecting the stream bed will restore normal habitat-forming processes to reestablish habitat complexity, off-channel habitats, and conditions favorable to fish spawning and rearing.
