Partners helping nature make a comeback at former logging hub
Crews with the Yurok Tribal Construction Corporation crew just beat the big rains this fall and completed the first phase of a large-scale restoration of Prairie Creek adjacent to the former Orick Mill site in Humboldt County. Save the Redwoods League purchased this property in 2013, and is partnering with a number of organizations to return the creek to its former self, tear up the acres of asphalt remaining from the mill, and create a new trails gateway to Redwood National and State Parks.
The Prairie Creek Floodplain Restoration Project has been collaboratively envisioned and designed with the expertise of California Trout, local partners and professional firms, as well as early funding partners at California State Coastal Conservancy, NOAA Restoration Center, and Wildlife Conservation Board.
