Ninety
Chiloquin and
Lost
River
high school students will
tour The Nature Conservancy’s Williamson River Delta restoration today
as part of a study of the Klamath Watershed.
The
tour will beg in with an orientation by Matt Berry, former director of
the Williamson River Delta restoration project. Students will see where
levees were exploded to restore wetlands, with explanations from
engineers Zach Cooper of
Knife River
and Louis Friend of Zbinden-Carter
Engineering.
Students
will learn how to measure water quality with explanations from Carol
Doehring and Siana Wong of The Nature Conservancy, and will learn from
fisheries biologists Heather Hendrixson and Charlie Erdman of The Nature
Conservancy how suckers are recovering. In addition, Rob Roninger of the
Bureau of Land Management will discuss how wetlands help the birds of
the Pacific Flyway.
The outing is part of “Sharing the Klamath River
Watershed: Bringing Together the Next Generation of Stakeholders”
sponsored by Educational Solutions, a
Klamath Falls
nonprofit group.
