LONG CREEK โ€“ North Fork John Day Watershed Council Executive Director Kristen Walz was on KJDYโ€™s Coffee Time recently. Walz said the John Day Basin Partnership is planning a large post-fire restoration planning project:

โ€œSix SWCDโ€™s and four Watershed Councils are working together, weโ€™re sort of all saying, โ€˜weโ€™ve never done this before.โ€™ You know, there are some organizations who were around during the Canyon Creek Fire, or their operating areas were impacted, but some of us just havenโ€™t done it. This planning project is really to take all of that information and collate all that data, and then provide a roadmap for restoration.โ€

Weโ€™ll provide updates on the project as they are released.
