Riparian restoration in Wood River near Fort Klamath and Four Mile Creek in the Upper Klamath Basin: In partnership with the Klamath Rangeland Trust, the Klamath Tribe and the USFWS, Lomakatsi employed Klamath Tribal members to re-vegetate newly created side channels for native fish spawning habitat along Wood River. Klamath tribal members also worked to restore Four Mile Creek back to its historic stream channels by re-contouring stream banks and planting native willows. These projects were funded by the USFWS Partners Program, Oregon Wild, Bureau of Reclamation, and Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. — December 6, 2011
