Forest Supervisor Signs Six Rivers Aquatic Restoration Project Environmental Assessment
This is a press release from the Six Rivers National Forest:
Hello Everyone. The Six Rivers National Forest is very pleased to announce that Forest Supervisor Ted McArthur signed the Decision Notice for the Six Rivers Aquatic Restoration Project Environmental Assessment. The project is specifically designed to increase the pace and scale of aquatic restoration through partnerships and collaboration. The project takes a programmatic approach and will use a variety of methods to enhance 1,234 stream miles of fisheries spawning, rearing, and over-wintering habitats associated with the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Salmon, Mad, North Fork Eel and Van Duzen rivers and their tributaries; and improve habitat complexity along streams, and 1,156 acres of ponds and lakes.
Getting the Aquatic Restoration Project to this point has been years in the making. It was finally brought to fruition by a shared vision between forest leadership and our collaborative partners and stakeholders who are dedicated to restoring fisheries on the North Coast. This project represents an important step toward fulfilling tribal trust responsibilities, and obligations to local communities, recreationists and commercial fishing industries.
Special thanks to the many partnerships that made this project possible, including a grant from the California Coastal Conservancy through the Mid Klamath Watershed Council (MKWC) and as well as local tribes and non-governmental organizations such as Smith River Alliance, and governmental partners such National Marine Fisheries Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Humboldt State University and California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
We look forward to working with our collaborative partnerships implementing the shared vision of an all lands, all hands approach to aquatic restoration. If you have any questions about the project, please contact me at [email protected] or 707-441-3551.

Smell the funding?
Maybe et some water back in Salt Creek?
Forty years of aquatic restoration projects and the salmonids are in as much trouble as ever. Maybe there’s something not being figured in? We need more results than a warm fuzzy feeling for all the $ agencies have been throwing at the problem.
They are in worse trouble than ever. We even pay a restoration fee to fish. Hasnt done a bit of good for the eel watershed. Squawfish and pot have seen to that. You have these congressmen who are into trails and pot, you see, not fish. And the supervisors are clueless,too,
What’s the budget?
~oh that is a funny question. “The County” just blew thru 2018-2019 before last year’s Annual Report was done. Budget? We don’t need no stinkin Budget! We’ve got Grant$ Grant$ Grant$ Grant$, Grant$ Grant$ Grant$ Grant$.
More wasted political feel good money
