Restoration continues east of Florence
On Wednesday, July 17th, McKenzie River Trust staff joined our partners at the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians in welcoming Governor Tina Kotek to haich ikt'at'tuu (formerly Waite Ranch). During the stopover, the governor was invited to learn about our collaborative restoration work as a part of her day-long visit with Chief Doug Barrett and members of Tribal Council. While at the project site, staff shared information about the efforts that aim to restore nearly 200 acres of tidal wetlands in the Siuslaw River estuary. Leading those efforts are the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, who are the primary project managers and have been integral in designing a project with broad community benefits. Some of the project's wide-reaching benefits include increasing important fish and wildlife habitat, building regional climate resiliency, and restoring Tribal culture and connections to the area.
