TU and the Forest Service were in the middle of two fish passage projects (above) in the Cathey’s Creek watershed in North Carolina when Helene arrived. Fortunately, the projects were not damaged and are expected to be completed. Projects to address barriers to fish passage, such as undersized culverts, are a key method to making infrastructure more resilient to floods. Across the mountainous landscape of the Appalachians, many culverts are too small to adequately handle high flows that were not anticipated when the culverts were originally designed and installed.

Horses and Highwater is about the Western way of life: community, conservation, and collaboration. TU’s ongoing restoration efforts at Tincup Creek exemplify all of these traits, as we worked closely with Caribou-Targhee National Forest – by hand, foot, hoof, and helicopter – to bring these restoration projects to life in the Salt River watershed.

(Photos by Greg Moinske) Each summer, the young adult members of TU’s Northeast Oregon Hand Crew Initiative spend weeks camping in national forests, restoring miles of trout and salmon habitat by building beaver dams and log jams, planting willows by hand and learning about leadership, watershed ecology and stewardship. Levi Old, TU’s NE Oregon restoration director, and our program partners, started this program to expand the scope of stream and meadow restoration work across several of TU’s Columbia and Snake River Basin Priority Waters. The Initiative is set up to train the next generation of river restorationists, ecologists and stewards.
The Pisgah National Forest is a 500,000 plus acre wonderland of hardwood forests, mile-high peaks and rushing rivers situated along the eastern edge of the mountains of western North Carolina. It was the first national forest established east of the Mississippi and is home to two of the first wilderness areas designated in the east—testament to its abundant resources and appeals. The Pisgah offers abundant access to several of the Southeast’s premier trout streams and native brookies in countless “blue line” waters. Photos by Joshua Duplechian/Trout Unlimited
