MKWC Plants Crew- A Whole New Meaning to the Word "Growth"
This past July, the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, in partnership with the Karuk Tribe and the Klamath National Forest, completed the East Fork Elk Creek Fish Passage Project with the goal of improving existing habitat and facilitating permanent volitional access for Coho salmon to an additional 4 miles of prime spawning and rearing habitat on East Fork Elk Creek...
The week of June 15, the Karuk Tribe, the Mid Klamath Watershed Council and partners conducted a Prescribed Fire at Morgan Point outside of Happy Camp.
With a burgeoning amount of restoration projects around Happy Camp and further upriver, a growing set of employees based in Happy Camp, and a small rental office we’ve outgrown, MKWC purchased a new office space in Happy Camp.
In 2019, MKWC received funding from the US Fish & Wildlife Service to build monarch butterfly waystations, patches of habitat that provide resources necessary for monarchs (and other pollinators) to reproduce and sustain their migration. Over the last 4 years, MKWC has planted, monitored, and maintained waystations at six locations along riparian areas from Seiad Valley to Orleans, CA.
We are excited to share that Kathy McCovey is now working with the Mid Klamath Watershed Council as Co-Executive Director! Kathy brings a lifetime of professional and personal experience relevant to the Klamath River region and beyond, and we are honored to have this opportunity to work with and learn from her as we strive to collaboratively plan and implement ecosystem restoration, promote community vitality, and involve people in land stewardship.
This past December, the Mid Klamath Watershed Council staff convened for two days of trainings, skill-sharing, and team-building, followed by our annual holiday party. Here are some of our favorite photos.
The Panamnik Building in Orleans, CA is a community space and the home of the MKWC’s central office. The Panamnik Building hosts regularly scheduled events and activities*:
Third Thursday Café: The Third Thursday Café is a place for people from the river communities to gather and enjoy great food and company. On the Third Thursday of every month the Panamnik Building is transformed into an impromptu café where local chefs volunteer their time to make scrumptious meals. Each café hosts a different themed menu and proceeds benefit MKWC programs and other local groups. Prices vary. Check the Events Calendar for information on upcoming Third Thursdays.
