The Crew is off on break . Here's we did the last week of June....

Of course there was some planting site maintenance that needed taken care of, which we took care of. Finn River Farms restoration site on Chimacum Creek needed a little TLC.  We also traveled up to Port Angeles and put tree protectors on the trees and did some tree release.


This is what it looks like for the weeds that get in our way

.Next we went to Lee Millers on Chimacum Creek.  Al Latham, with the Jefferson County Conservation District, arranged a small scale log moving project intended to improve salmon habitat.  The crew seemed to really enjoy this project, and Lee Miller was great.  He even brought us drinks and cookies.

Al thought I should move the choker before it was completely buried, he was right.

Notice the log on the opposite bank.  That is what is being winched by Chris and Lou

These guys look tough

Yeah... this didn't work out

Ok, we got 2 in the channel, should be interesting in the winter high flows.
