Spurgeon Creek is a significant cold-water tributary to the Deschutes River; it supports chinook and coho salmon, as well as cutthroat trout. While the upper reaches of Spurgeon Creek are relatively intact, portions of the lower reaches have been compromised by clearing for pastures, large woody debris removal, and unfettered access by livestock. This project improved and protected the riparian corridor along a degraded reach of Spurgeon Creek, an important cold water refuge tributary to the Deschutes River in South Puget Sound. Single logs with attached rootwads and large woody debris complexes were placed in the channel floodplain to increase flood habitat complexity along a degraded reach of the stream. Water withdrawals within the project reach were characterized, and WFC undertook efforts to engage the site's neighbors for future potential restoration efforts.
