A selection of ongoing projects
Project - Asotin Creek
Asotin Creek IMW, Southeast Washington
Effectiveness & Efficiency in LWD Restoration
Since 2008, ELR has been working with the Snake River Salmon Recovery Board and its partners in southeast Washington on the Asotin Creek Intensively Monitored Watershed project. Intensive land use has caused literally thousands of river miles to be in a severe LWD deficit. This project was designed to test whether High Density LWD (HDLWD) restoration could be used to improve threatened and endangered salmonid habitat over large spatial scales.

Bear Creek, Wheeler County, Oregon
Restoration of Perennial Flow in High - Desert Streams
A collaborative restoration and monitoring effort between ELR, the Wheeler County Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. This project was designed to test the effectiveness of using beaver based restoration as a means to restore perennial streamflow in steelhead rearing streams.
Project - Bear Creek
Cutthroat Trout Conservation
Habitat Conservation and Invasive Species Risks for an Iconic Western Fish
The ELR staff know cutthroat, and much of our training and work experience in fisheries science came from studying this iconic western fish. Our work toward cutthroat conservation includes studying hybridization across the range of Westslope Cutthroat in British Columbia, studying competition with invasive species in one of the last strongholds for Bonneville Cutthroat in northern Utah, and assessing grazing impacts on Colorado cutthroat throughout the Colorado plateau.

Bridge Creek IMW, Oregon
Partnering with Beaver to Restore Steelhead Habitat
For over a decade, ELR has collaborated with NOAA Fisheries in the design, implementation, and monitoring of an ecosystem level experiment in fisheries habitat restoration. The restoration methods and long-term monitoring data collected by ELR have become a model for the development of cost-efficient and effective restoration practices now being implemented throughout the Northwest.
