Brush Creek is a tributary to Elk Creek and is located approximately six miles east of Elkton in the Elk Creek fifth-field watershed. Brush Creek provides ten miles of spawning and rearing habitat for coho, steelhead, cutthroat trout, and Pacific lamprey. However, large woody debris and habitat structures necessary for summer and winter fish survival are limited in Brush Creek due to historic splash damming, channel straightening, road building and stream cleaning practices. The results from previous attemps at instream restoration in the watershed have been positive, but only cover a small portion of the available fish habitat. After an extensive basin-wide instream habitat survey of Brush Creek, the many other areas in need of restoration were identified as well as a previously undocumented beaver-created wetland complex. The two main landowners in the watershed, Lone Rock Timber Company and Roseburg District BLM, support a large-scale instream restoration project in Brush Creek. The first phase of this project will be to place 400 logs and 300 boulders at 55 sites in Brush Creek  with an excavator.
