| Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2 | Four board members have property in high priority areas for stream restoration and riparian enhancement in the watershed. These members have engaged with SSWC to allow the organization to plant and maintain native trees and shrubs, treat invasive plants and place stream structures that benefit fish and other aquatic life. These are services that SSWC provides to many landowners in the area and the board members are among the landowners we work with.One board member is employed by a private industrial timber company. We have worked with that company to enhance fish passage on lands owned by that company and continue to perform post-project monitoring. |

| Part III response or note to any other line in Part III | Organizations Mission:The mission of the South Santiam Water Council (SSWC)is to involve local people in the enhancement and protection of the South Santiam watershed for the social anmd economic benefit of its landowners, managers, and users. The SSWC is active in stream and riparian restoration, fish habitat enchancement, education and outreach, and monitoring throughout the watershed. First Program Accomplishment:IN FY 2019-20, the SSWC worked in four program areas:Restoration (Riparian restoration and in-stream habitat enhancement)Education (Youth Watershed Council and Outdoor School)Monitoring (Project Effectiveness and Water Quality)Forest Collaborative (Forest management)In the restoration arena, the SSWC completed restoration work at multiple locations. An important component of watershed restoration is work in the riparian area. Over the past 10 years, SSWC has planted several hundred thousand native trees and shrubs in the watershed. In 2019-20, the SSWC planted approximately 50,000 native trees and shrubs in an effort to improve riparian conditions among multiple creeks. Sites that had been planted in previous years were maintained so as to enhance plant survival thus ensuring long term success at planting sites. This involved visiting over 25 properties multiple times to treat invasive weeds that may threaten the previous plantings. New sites were prepared for future planting by removing invasive plants to create site conditions suitable to planting and generating lists of plant species that are appropriate to the site. In-stream habitat enhancement was not undertaken during the recent fiscal year, although we expect to engage in this activity in the future. The SSWC monitored previous work sites through photo documentation. Sites were located on lands owned by the US Forest Service, Cascade Timber Consulting, and the Weyerhauser Corporation. Planning efforts were underway for future instream enhancement sites at different creeks. Monitoring activities were primarily centered on photo points (as mentioned above) and stream temperature monitoring at priority locations. Photo points are photographs taken at the same location over multiple years in succession. The photos, along with a short narrative, help document changes in site conditions and are useful in telling the story of the project. Stream temperature is a major driver of aquatic ecosystems and an indicator of watershed health. Restoration activities are often designed to improve system temperatures for cold water fishes. Monitoring water temperature allows the SSWC to measure the effectiveness of projects over a long time period. We anticipate instream habitat surveys will commence in the future at a reduced level. Other Program Accomplishments:The SSWC continues to work with the US Forest Service, Sweet Home Ranger District and local schools to bring a coordinated watershed education program to watershed students. The program has two main components: The annual Outdoor School and the Youth Watershed Council. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, in-person education and outreach activities have been suspended at present. We continue to work with our partners to reimagine educational opportunities that are compatible with current safety requirements. The Council takes an interest in forest collaboratives and participates in conversations with partners and other collaboratives as we work toward developing a collaborative in our own community. Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, we held a first meeting toward those ends, and plan to resume with virtual meetings this fall. |
