Description

The Finney Creek restoration project placed over 750 logs into more than 80 logjams in upper Finney Creek. the logs helped to trap gravel size sediments behindthe jams and create a more narrow and deeper creek. This resulted in loweringwater temperatures to provide more favorable spawning conditions. Finney Creekonce provided habitat for all salmon species except sockeye.
