We recently wrapped up work on two projects that improved fish passage in the concrete flood control channel.
The Spokane to Park project treated 1,344 feet of the channel, connecting projects that were completed in 2013 and 2019.
The Roosevelt St project completed the last 900 feet between last year’s work and the upstream end of the concrete channel.
Only two sections remain to be treated: 6th Ave to 3rd Ave, and 3rd Ave to Colville St (the underground section).
We’re pleased to share with you some of our accomplishments from this year.
Construction in Mill Creek faced a few challenges, but we were able to work through them to successfully complete our project.
Kids’ Fishing Days resumed after a two-year hiatus, and Salmon in School continues to grow!
Brock joined our staff in October as an AmeriCorps member. And it couldn’t have been at a better time!
Salmon in School is back in full swing, and Brock is already at work helping our Education Coordinator Alex Lau to prepare lessons.
You can read Brock’s bio on our Staff page.
